1950 Map of Coleman Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

High plains ranching life in Platte County is documented in this mid-century survey, centered on the landmark Coleman Butte and the surrounding drainages. The landscape is defined by its water sources and family operations, with a cluster of estates along Cottonwood Creek including the M L Coleman Ranch and the H B Coleman Ranch. The Cottonwood Community Hall serves as a social anchor for the remote settlers of this region, which is further shaped by the rugged elevations of Table Mountain and Pine Ridge. A network of unimproved roads and numerous Windmills trace the vital infrastructure required for livestock in this environment. The map provides a detailed look at the rural land use and genealogy of the area, featuring named properties such as the Willadsen Ranch, Adams Ranch, and Vermilyea Ranch situated between Crow Creek and Fletcher Park Creek.
