1898 Map of Camp Clarke

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

The North Platte River corridors of western Nebraska are captured here during a pivotal era of agricultural transformation. Just before the turn of the century, an intricate system of irrigation was being carved into the landscape, visible in the detailed paths of the Bayard Canal, Alliance Canal, and Chimney Rock Canal. These waterways were vital for the burgeoning settlements of Bayard and Camp Clarke, which served as critical hubs along the river’s north bank. South of the river, the iconic formations of the Wild West stand out, including the world-famous Chimney Rock and the massive profiles of Courthouse Rock and Jail Rock. The map reveals a land transitioning from open range to a settled agricultural economy, with remote post offices like Freeport and Redington dotting the valley of Pumpkin Creek amidst high bluffs and canyons like Logan Canyon and McManigal Canyon.
