1955 Map of Cooper Lake North

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Cooper Lake dominates the southern reaches of this Albany County landscape, its northern shoreline defined by a Spillway and the irrigation infrastructure of Homer Ditch. The map documents a critical transportation corridor in the mid-1950s, where the Union Pacific Railroad and the Lincoln Highway run parallel through the high plains. The small station of Cooper Lake and the nearby terrain of Lookout mark significant points along this historic thoroughfare. These routes cut across the drainage of Meiser Creek and Dutton Creek, following a path that evolved from the Old Grade seen nearby. This survey, part of the Missouri River Basin development program, provides a technical view of the region's water management and transit network before further modernization changed the character of these high-altitude ranching and rail lands.
