1972 Map of Bowman Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Powder River carves a meandering course through this Johnson County landscape, defining the character of the terrain during the early 1970s. The river's path is flanked by wide, level expanses such as Bowman Flat and Culp Flat, which contrast with the intricate network of drainage channels that feed the basin. This survey illustrates a rural economy reliant on water and transport, featuring multiple landing areas including a Landing Strip and a designated Landing Field positioned near the river's bends. A complex system of ephemeral draws, including Hupp Draw, Red Draw, and Hynes Draw, illustrates the region's hydraulic patterns. The presence of a major Pipeline cutting across the southern sections near Pumpkin Creek points to the infrastructure development supporting the Missouri River Basin project during this era.
