1949 Map of Ashby

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Family-named ranches and a sprawling network of sandhill lakes define this mid-century portrait of Cherry and Grant counties. The landscape is dominated by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which anchors the southern corridor between the small rail-side communities of Ashby and Hyannis. The geography reveals a ranching economy organized around naturally occurring basins, with Hospital Valley, Camp Valley, and Brown Valley providing sheltered lowlands among the dunes.
