1951 Map of Brush East

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The irrigation-fed agricultural landscape of the Missouri River Basin is defined here by the South Platte River and an extensive network of canals. Industrial activity centers on the town of Brush, where a prominent Sugar Refinery and railroad infrastructure highlight the region's economic reliance on beet processing and transport. The Union Pacific and Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads parallel the river, connecting the settlements of Snyder, Hillrose, and Camden. Rural life in the early 1950s is anchored by local institutions such as the Colwell School and Fairview School. The intricate water system, featuring the Lower Platte and Beaver Canal and North Sterling Canal, illustrates the intensive effort required to transform the high plains into productive farmland during this era of development.
