1951 Map of Atwood NE

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Logan County’s high plains and agricultural valleys come into sharp focus in this 1951 survey, which documents a landscape transitioning between traditional ranching and mid-century industrial development. The local education system is anchored by the Mt Hope School and Pleasant Divide School, serving the scattered rural population. Water management defines the terrain here, as the North Sterling Canal and Pawnee Ditch trace the contours of the land to support irrigation. Evidence of the region’s natural resource economy is visible through numerous Oil Wells and several Gravel Pits along the drainage basins. Notable watercourses like Springdale Creek and Sand Creek flow through the quadrangle, with a prominent Levee providing flood protection. In the southeastern corner, a Drive-in Theater reflects the post-war shift toward roadside entertainment in rural Colorado.
