1979 Map of Barron Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Union Pacific tracks cut a distinct diagonal path across this high plains landscape, following the general course of the broad Big Sandy Creek valley in Lincoln County. The mapping reveals a sparse, water-dependent infrastructure defined by numerous wells and cattle tanks scattered across the terrain, reflecting the region's ranching character. Near the railroad siding at Sandy, the topography shows industrial activity with multiple Gravel Pits, likely utilized for rail ballast or local road building. The drainage network is clearly defined by the branching paths of Sandy Creek and Barron Creek, which carve subtle relief into the surrounding prairie. This 1970s survey captures a moment when the rural landscape remained largely open, punctuated only by a major Pipeline and the essential rail corridor that connects these remote plains to larger transport networks.
