About this map

Clyde and Pickard serve as central nodes for the agricultural landscape of this region during the late 1960s. Located along the Burlington Northern railroad, these small settlements are defined by their grain infrastructure, featuring Grain Elevators and Storage Bins that point to the intensive dryland wheat farming typical of Eureka Flat. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep drainages including Walker Canyon and Dry Hollow, which cut through the plateaus.

Transportation follows these natural contours and historical section lines, with routes like Lower Monumental Road and Harsell Road connecting isolated farmsteads. To the south near Harvey, the presence of additional grain storage along the rail line underscores the area's dependency on the railroad for moving harvests. Small-scale water sources such as Smith Springs provide rare points of relief in this otherwise arid environment.
