1974 Map of De Nova NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Jack Creek carves a subtle path through the eastern plains of Washington County, defining the primary drainage for this stretch of open prairie. Mapping from the 1970s reveals a landscape organized around dryland agriculture and resource extraction, punctuated by numerous isolated Wells and several Storage Bins used for grain storage. The topographic detail indicates a pattern of section lines and range roads that dictate the movement across the terrain, reflecting the rigid grid system of the western homestead era. Small-scale industrial activity is evident at the Gravel Pit near the southern edge of the sheet, providing insight into local material sourcing during this period of rural development.
