1949 Map of Chalk Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The North Platte River winds through this Converse County landscape, anchored by the town of Douglas in the northeast. The terrain is defined by the prominent Chalk Buttes and the high elevation of Sheep Mountain to the south, while several drainages including Wagon Hound Creek and Bed Tick Creek carve through the foothills. This mid-century survey documents a vital transportation corridor where the Chicago and North Western and Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads parallel the river.
