1968 Map of Cat Creek NE

About this map

Clay Creek Store stands as a primary landmark in this rural Prowers County landscape, reflecting the essential rural commerce of the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Clay Creek and Horse Creek, which carve through the high plains toward the northeast. A notable infrastructure element is the Aqueduct, which cuts across the central sections of the quadrangle, illustrating the critical role of water management in this arid region. High points like Signal Hill 3990 provide topographic orientation for the area, while localized features such as a Radio Tower and the small marker at June indicate the sparse but intentional human imprint on the land. This survey, based on 1967 aerial photography and field-checked in 1968, captures the precise layout of section lines and unimproved roads that connected these remote points before the turn of the decade.
