1971 Map of Alvin

About this map

The high plains along the Colorado Nebraska border define this 1971 survey, centered on the small settlement of Alvin. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural utility and infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous Well markings and a Pipeline cutting across the northeastern terrain. This area represents a sparsely populated ranching and farming district where life revolves around water access and interstate transport. A notable landmark for local history and genealogy is the Hughes Cem, located near the border of Yuma and Chase counties. The presence of a Pumping Sta further emphasizes the importance of resource management in this arid prairie environment during the early 1970s.
