About this map

The town of Bennett serves as a primary hub in this late 1940s survey of the Colorado plains. Located along the Union Pacific railroad and the Old Victory Highway, the community shows a concentrated grid of streets and structures supported by local infrastructure. To the north, the small settlement of Central Valley is anchored by the Central Valley Sch, illustrating the dispersed rural education patterns of the era.

The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage systems of Kiowa Creek and Lost Creek, which cut through the agricultural terrain. Landmarks such as the Bennett Cem and various Windmill sites provide vital orientation points for local history and genealogy. Industrial activity is noted by a Gravel Pit near the highway, reflecting the material needs of maintaining transport corridors in the post-war Missouri River Basin development era.
