1968 Map of Cecil

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Oregon Trail and Immigrant Road trace the northern high ground of this landscape, marking the historic movement of people through the high desert of Morrow and Gilliam counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Willow Creek, which carves deep canyons through the plateau, most notably at the sharp curve of Horseshoe Bend. Along the creek bed, the Union Pacific railroad corridor connects the small settlements of Cecil, Morgan, and McNab. The agricultural economy of the late 1960s is evident through the presence of a Grain Elevator and scattered Storage Bins. Genealogists and local historians will find the Morgan Cem tucked away near the eastern edge of the creek, while landmarks like Saddle Butte and Fourmile Canyon provide distinct geographic anchors for the region.
