1951 Map of Eddyville

About this map

Eddyville sits along the southern edge of this mid-century survey, a vital point where the Union Pacific railroad tracks navigate the landscape. The geography is defined by the contrast between the flat Wood River Valley and the deeply dissected hills to the north, cut by Buzzards Roost Canyon. Water resources are central to the region, with the South Loup River and Deer Creek winding through the northern sections, while numerous windmills are marked across the higher elevations to support local ranching.
