1972 Map of Carson SE

About this map

Brisbane sits along the northern edge of this high plains landscape, situated on the route of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. This 1970s survey captures a transition in the Grant County terrain, where the undulating prairie begins to break toward the Cannonball River valley in the southwest corner. The drainage of Boxelder Creek cuts a path through the central sections of the quadrangle, illustrating the natural watercourses that dictated early settlement and land use. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the St Vincent Cem in the southeastern quadrant provides a specific point of interest for family research, marking a site of community memory within this sparsely populated rural expanse.
