1972 Map of Easterly Airport

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The High Plains borderlands between Nebraska and Colorado are defined here by the sparse ranching and energy landscape of the early 1970s. The rural settlement of Mount Vernon is marked by the Mount Vernon Community Center, serving as a social anchor for the surrounding agricultural community. Natural drainage is dictated by the courses of Sand Draw and Sidney Draw, which cut through the arid terrain toward the northeast. Industrial activity is evident throughout the quadrangle, with numerous Oil Wells scattered across the township sections. Near the Colorado border, the Easterly Airport stands as a notable aviation landmark, while Chambers Springs provides a rare named water source in this dry upland environment. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary where Cheyenne Co and Logan Co meet at the state line.
