1971 Map of Alvin

About this map

Alvin sits at the center of this 1971 survey, representing a remote agricultural crossroads where the high plains of Colorado meet the Nebraska panhandle. This map documents a sparsely populated corner of Yuma County defined by its proximity to state and county lines, including the triple intersection of Yuma, Chase, and Dundy counties. The landscape is characterized by its utilitarian infrastructure, from the local Gravel Pit to the industrial Pumping Sta and a major Pipeline cutting across the northern sections. Genealogists and local historians will find the Hughes Cem located just across the Colorado Nebraska border, providing a specific reference point for early families who settled this tri-state boundary region during the mid-20th century.
