1978 Map of Crosby Creek

About this map

Cherry Creek and the Republican River converge in this high plains landscape of Cheyenne County, where the terrain transitions between agricultural uplands and the river valley. The 1970s landscape shows a sparse but established rural infrastructure, marked by landmarks like the Zion Cem in the northwest and the Battle Creek Cem situated near the intersection of local townships. Evidence of former transportation networks is preserved in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the northeastern corner, tracing a path toward the St. Francis State Game Management Area. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of smaller tributaries such as Crosby Creek and Battle Creek, alongside industrial features like the Sandpits found near the South Fork Republican River.
