1981 Map of Bird City South

About this map

Bird City sits at the northern edge of this High Plains landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural region in the early 1980s. The town's infrastructure is clearly defined, including the Water Tank, a Beacon, and the Community Landing Field. Outside the town center, the land is marked by an extensive network of wells and agricultural field lines, reflecting the intensive land use of Cheyenne County. To the south, the Gilliland Landing Strip provides another point of aerial access, while the Greisler Cem offers a primary point of interest for genealogists tracing local family history. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the winding course of Little Beaver Creek, which provides the only major drainage across this otherwise level plateau.
