1951 Map of Cottonwood Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the western edge of this landscape, where the terrain breaks into the drainage systems of the Laramie Range. This 1951 study, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, shows a sparse ranching and forestry environment defined by seasonal watercourses like Cottonwood Creek and Crow Creek. The map records a specific moment of transition for local infrastructure, notably marking the Fish Creek Sch (Aband) at the southern boundary, indicating the consolidation or shift of rural education in Platte County. Settlement is concentrated around Cottonwood Falls, with remote Windmills and the Fletcher Park Road providing the primary evidence of human activity among the draws and ridges.
