1956 Map of Curtis NW

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Medicine Creek and its complex network of tributaries carve through this portion of Frontier and Lincoln Counties, defining a landscape of sharp ridges and deep draws. The Chicago Burlington And Quincy railroad line serves as a primary transit corridor, cutting northwest through the terrain toward the settlement of Wellfleet. The drainage patterns here are particularly intricate, with Lake Canyon and Buchanan Canyon feeding into the main valley, while further south, the bifurcated flow of North Brushy Creek and South Brushy Creek converge. On the eastern edge of the survey, the village of Maywood sits near the rail line, representing a small but vital hub for the surrounding ranching or farming community. A Gaging Station on Brushy Cr indicates the importance of water management in this part of the Missouri River Basin during the mid-century era.
