1961 Map of Barton

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The South Platte River and its accompanying Union Pacific rail corridor define this high-plains landscape along the Nebraska-Colorado border. Centered on the settlement of Barton, the map illustrates a landscape transitioned into an organized network of water management and energy extraction during the early 1960s. Irrigation features like the State Line Ditch and Western Canal run parallel to the river, supporting the agricultural life of the valley. To the north, the terrain rises into the dissected plateaus of Big Springs, where the dry beds of Walrath Draw and Dry Creek mark the natural drainage. This era shows significant industrial development with numerous Gas Wells scattered across the uplands, while local education is still anchored by rural sites such as Plainview Sch and Longview Sch.
