1956 Map of Bullhead

About this map

Bullhead sits prominently on a bend of the Grand River in Corson County, established as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program. The settlement serves as the primary focal point of this mid-century survey, surrounded by a complex network of prairie drainage. To the north, the high ground is defined by the flat-topped ridges of Walker and Cadillac, separated by the winding course of Rock Creek. These uplands descend into a series of deeply eroded draws and creeks, including Stink Creek and Dog Creek, which feed into the main river channel. The map provides a detailed view of the regional topography and early infrastructure before further modernization, documenting the relationship between the isolated community and its intricate fluvial landscape.
