1951 Map of Atwood NE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The agricultural and industrial landscape of Logan County is defined here by the extensive irrigation network supporting the eastern Colorado plains. The North Sterling Canal and Pawnee Ditch serve as vital infrastructure, following the natural contours of the terrain alongside a series of levees. Rural life in the mid-century is marked by educational hubs such as the Mt Hope School in the north and the Pleasant Divide School further south, while the Drive-in Theater near the southern boundary reflects the era's social culture. Resource extraction is a prominent theme, with numerous Oil Wells and Gravel Pits scattered across the land between the drainages of Springdale Creek and Sand Creek. The map provides a precise record of these features following 1951 surveys, illustrating a period where water management and energy production were the primary drivers of local development.
