1976 Map of Bird City North

About this map

Bird City sits at the southern edge of this High Plains landscape, serving as a vital hub for the surrounding Cheyenne County agricultural district during the mid-1970s. The town's layout is closely tied to the Burlington Northern railroad line, which cuts an east-west path through the territory. To the north, the terrain breaks into a series of dramatic drainages including Wolfe Canyon, Sawyer Canyon, and Evergreen Canyon, all of which feed toward the Big Timber Creek valley. This transition from flat upland wheat fields to deep canyon breaks is a defining characteristic of the region. Local landmarks such as the Bird City Cem and a Golf Course northwest of the town center provide specific points of interest for genealogical research and community history, while numerous labeled wells across the map reflect the era's focus on water resource management.
