1950 Map of Douglas
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Douglas serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated along the southern banks of the North Platte River. The map meticulously documents a landscape where frontier history and ranching economy converge. To the northwest lies the Site of Old Fort Fetterman and the Fort Fetterman Cemetery, enclosed by the Old Fort Fetterman Reservation Boundary. Historical movement across this terrain is marked by the Bozeman Trail Marker and the Oregon Trail Marker, while the Bill Hooker Monument stands near Fivemile Creek. Transportation infrastructure is dominated by the Chicago and Northwestern and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads. Within the town of Douglas, the State Fair Grounds and Converse County Memorial Hospital reflect the civic development of the era, while numerous windmills and ranches like Warner Ranch illustrate the rural footprint.
