1955 Map of Bluegrass Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Wheatland Reservoir No 2 dominates the northwestern landscape of this Albany County survey, reflecting mid-century water management efforts as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of West Bluegrass Creek and East Bluegrass Creek, which wind through the eastern and central portions of the quadrangle. A single Oil Well (Aband) south of the reservoir indicates early resource exploration in this high-plains environment. The namesake Bluegrass Wells are located near the center of the sheet, serving as a primary landmark in an otherwise sparsely populated ranching territory. The map's layout of unimproved roads and light-duty trails suggests a landscape focused on livestock grazing and irrigation during the mid-1950s.
