About this map

Arriba sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, defined by its role as a rail town along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The town's grid is concentrated near a central Park, with the railroad running parallel to the highway. This late-1970s survey captures a transition between traditional agriculture and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of a Landing Strip to the west and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern sections.

The surrounding terrain is etched by drainage systems like Hell Creek, Hackberry Creek, and Buffalo Creek, which carve gentle coulees through the prairie. Local land use is further marked by a small Gravel Pit and a local Cem south of the main settlement. These features reflect the practicalities of a rural hub in Lincoln County during this era, where water management via Sewage Disposal Ponds and transportation networks were the primary drivers of settlement development.
