1956 Map of Cottonwood Creek SE

About this map

Cottonwood Creek meanders through this section of Corson County, shaping a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and dry drainage patterns. Produced as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, this survey highlights the sparse, rural nature of the northern plains during the mid-1950s. The presence of Kern Sch in the northern portion of the map provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early twentieth-century education in the region. The terrain is marked by the Cedar upland area, where numerous unimproved roads and light-duty trails connect isolated homesteads across the townships of T. 19 N. and T. 18 N..
