1990 Map of Cassa

About this map

Glendo Reservoir and the North Platte River anchor this topographic study of the Platte County landscape during the late twentieth century. The map details the infrastructure of Glendo Dam, including the Surge Tank Powerhouse, Shaft House, and various pumping stations that manage the river's flow through Bulls Bend. To the east, the Camp Guernsey State Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of the terrain, characterized by high points like Baldy Mountain and the steep walls of Wendover Canyon. Local settlement patterns are evidenced by the small community of Cassa and family-held lands such as Haushar Ranch and Herman Ranch. Of particular interest to historians is the route of the Emigrant Trail, which cuts across the western portion of the sheet, providing a spatial link between pioneer-era migration and modern features like the Burlington Northern railroad and Glendo State Park.
