1956 Map of Cowdrey

About this map

Cowdrey sits at the heart of an intricate hydrological network in Jackson County, where the Michigan River and Canadian River converge toward the North Platte River. This 1956 survey reveals a landscape defined by an extensive system of gravity-fed irrigation, evidenced by the numerous waterworks like the Coe Ditch No 2, Seneca Ditch, and Cumberland Ditch that lace the valley floor. These channels support a series of established family holdings, including the Carlstrom Ranch, Hanson Ranch, and Brownlee Ranch, illustrating the essential connection between water rights and ranching life in the region.
