1959 Map of Big Bow NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Little Bear Creek and Bear Creek carve distinct paths through this section of the High Plains, where the terrain transitions between the Lamont, Stanton, and Big Bow regions. The landscape is defined by the burgeoning energy and extractive industries of the late 1950s, evidenced by a dense network of Gas Wells scattered across the township grid and a localized Gravel Pit. For those researching local family history, the Mitchell Cem is a significant landmark on the western edge of the quadrangle. This 1959 survey, later updated with photorevisions in 1977, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure along the Hamilton and Stanton County border before modern intensive agricultural shifts.
