1951 Map of Eagles Nest

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Goshen Hole depression dominates the southeastern landscape of this mid-century survey along the Platte and Goshen county line. This ranching territory is characterized by its reliance on water and power infrastructure, evidenced by numerous Windmill sites and a specific Windcharger located near Cherry Creek. The social and logistical center of the area is anchored by the Antelope Grange Hall situated along Antelope Gap Road, reflecting the community-based agricultural life of the early 1950s. The terrain is deeply inscribed by drainage systems like Cottonwood Draw and Little Cottonwood Draw, while Cottonwood Falls Spring provides a critical natural water source in this semi-arid environment. Named landmarks such as Eagles Nest and various survey points like VABM 5389 Cherry highlight the topographic prominence of the ridges overlooking the low-lying basins.
