1978 Map of Atwood
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Atwood serves as the focal point of this High Plains landscape, situated at the confluence where Beaver Creek meets Little Beaver Creek. The town's mid-century layout is clearly defined, featuring a concentrated residential grid and essential community landmarks like Atwood Lake Park and a local Golf Course. To the west, the smaller settlement of Blakeman sits along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, reflecting the importance of rail transport to the regional grain and cattle economy. Cultural sites of interest include the Drive-in Theater just west of the main town and two local burial grounds, Mt Calvary Cem and a second Cemetery further south. The surrounding terrain is marked by the branching drainage of the creeks, with several Sandpits and an Atwood-Rawlins Co Airport indicating the industrial and infrastructure needs of Rawlins County during the late 1970s.
