1964 Map of Dodson NE

About this map

Exeter Creek carves a winding path through the northern plains of Phillips County, shaping a landscape defined by sharp coulees and alluvial drainage. Published by the Department of the Interior during a period of significant water resource development in the Missouri River Basin, the map highlights the infrastructure of the North Dodson Canal in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This irrigation network reflects the region’s mid-century focus on transforming the arid landscape for agricultural stability. To the east, the prominent Three Buttes rise above the surrounding terrain, serving as a distinct natural landmark. Smaller seasonal waterways like Assiniboine Creek feed into the larger drainage systems, while a local Gravel Pit near the southern boundary points to the small-scale extractive activities supporting local road and canal construction during the 1960s.
