1951 Map of Cottonwood Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest occupies the western edge of this mid-century survey, where the drainages of the Laramie Range carve a complex network of canyons and draws. This document was produced as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, following field checks in 1950. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, including the prominent Cottonwood Creek and Crow Creek, which dictate the local topography. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the Fletcher Park Road and isolated infrastructure like the Fish Creek Sch (Aban'd), reflecting the remote ranching and timber character of this portion of Platte County. Genealogists and local historians may find interest in the transition from active use to abandonment seen in the labeling of school sites and the placement of several Windmill symbols across the high country.
