1966 Map of Crane NW

About this map

Getty stands as a primary point of interest in this mid-1960s landscape, which is defined by a dendritic network of drainage systems feeding the Missouri River Basin. The topography is shaped by the intermittent flows of South Fork Lone Tree Creek in the north and the winding course of Great Northern Creek in the south. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Drill Hole indicates early localized resource extraction and geological testing during this era of regional development. Numerous Spring and Well labels are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the critical importance of water management in this part of Richland County. This survey, part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin program, captures the rural character of the area before modern changes, preserving the locations of specific water sources and early transport tracks through the North Fork Fox Creek drainage.
