1950 Map of Collins

About this map

Teton River meanders across the center of this mid-century landscape, carving a deep valley that separates the northern plains from the southern highlands. In this period, the Great Northern railroad remains the primary artery for the region's agricultural economy, supporting the small settlement of Collins and the industrial activity at Zim Elevator. The map reveals a highly organized rural infrastructure, with small country schools like Caskey School and South Liberty Sch serving the local farming families.
