1990 Map of Barnes

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The Grattan Massacre Historical Monument marks a pivotal 1854 conflict point within this Goshen County landscape, where the North Platte River corridor served as a critical artery for westward migration. The legacy of the westward expansion is etched across the terrain via the Emigrant Trail, which parallels the river valley and modern irrigation infrastructure. The map reveals an intricate hydraulic system essential to the high plains economy, including the Lucerne Canal, the Lucerne Siphon, and the Grattan Ditch. These waterways support the agricultural activity found at London Flats and near settlements like Barnes. North of the river, the topography transitions into a series of draws and canyons, such as Bovee Draw and Willy Draw, punctuated by landmarks like the Skinner Ranch and the Gross Reservoir.
