1971 Map of Eckley NE

About this map

High plains terrain and a sparse network of section lines define this area of Yuma County during the early 1970s. The landscape is primarily shaped by agricultural activity and resource extraction, notably marked by the Mullison settlement and a Gravel Pit located in the northeast. Water management is a critical component of life here, as evidenced by the high density of labeled wells scattered across the land, supporting the irrigation and livestock needs of the region's farms and ranches. This 1971 survey captures a quiet period of rural development before modern shifts in agrarian technology, preserving the exact placement of local landmarks and property boundaries for those tracing regional family history or land use patterns.
