About this map

Davenport serves as the hub of this 1969 survey, situated at the intersection of early regional infrastructure. The town's layout is meticulously detailed, showing the Lincoln Co Hospital, Municipal Airport, and the County Fairgrounds on its western edge. The transport history of Lincoln County is etched into the landscape, visible where the Burlington Northern line runs south of town, contrasted by an Old Railroad Grade that traces a previous path along Cottonwood Creek.

The surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as Teel Hill and Trinkle Canyon to the north. Local history is further preserved through landmarks like the Mountain View Cem and the Grange Hall located east of the main settlement. Numerous gravel and borrow pits indicate the active extraction and road-building efforts of the era, while named water sources like Indian Creek and Hawk Creek highlight the drainage patterns essential to this agricultural region.
