About this map

Curry Lake sits at the heart of this landscape, marking a rare permanent water feature in a region defined by a series of distinct depressions. The terrain is organized into several named valleys that dominate the local geography, including Anderson Valley in the northwest and Julian Valley near the center. These landforms suggest a reliance on low-lying areas for pasture or shelter within the Sandhills.

A network of local roads like RD 209 and S Ashby Rd connects these topographical features, tracing the easier paths through the hills. The map also delineates the boundary between Garden Co and Grant Co, showing how political lines bisect the natural flow of the valley systems such as French Valley and West Finn Valley. This survey provides a clear look at the sparse rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns of the era.
