1898 Map of Camp Clarke

About this map

The North Platte River carves through this late 19th-century landscape, a vital corridor defined by early irrigation efforts and iconic landmarks of the westward expansion. The map documents an intricate network of early waterways, including the Bayard Canal, Alliance Canal, and Browns Creek Canal, illustrating how the valley was being reclaimed for agriculture just before the turn of the century. Prominent geological sentinels like Chimney Rock, Courthouse Rock, and Jail Rock rise above the plains, serving as permanent markers for travelers who once utilized the Stage Stand and stayed at Camp Clarke. Along the Burlington and Missouri River R. R., young settlements such as Bayard, Northport, and Bridgeport are shown in their foundational stages. Further south, the map details the terrain around Pumpkin Creek, where the community of Redington and natural features like Birdcage Gap and Roundhouse Rock define the local geography.
