1949 Map of Chalk Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The North Platte River winds through the eastern portion of this landscape, serving as a primary corridor for transportation and settlement in Converse County. To the northeast, the town of Douglas serves as a hub where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line meets the river valley. This 1949 survey illustrates the overlapping layers of Western transit history, most notably the path of the Emigrant Trail cutting across the terrain.
