1956 Map of Cottonwood Creek NW

About this map

The Grand River carves a dramatic, winding path across this portion of Corson County, shaping the surrounding plains of Sherman and Riverside. In the mid-1950s, this landscape was defined by its water systems, including the southern convergence of Horse Black Butte Creek and the eastern flow of Meadow Creek. The intricate contour lines reveal the complex breaks and draws typical of the Missouri River Basin development area, showing how the terrain descends toward the river valley. While large settlements are absent, the map documents the essential drainage network of Cedar Creek and the established township boundaries that organized this rural ranching country during the post-war era.
