1969 Map of Fort Dodge SW

About this map

Mulberry Creek and its network of tributaries carve through the plains of Ford Co and Hodgeman Co in this 1969 field-checked survey. The landscape is defined by the expansive townships of Enterprise, Bloom, and Wilburn, where the traditional cattle-country terrain is overlaid with the infrastructure of the modern energy era. Extensive networks of Pipeline and Pipelines crisscross the region, supported by a central Compressor Station and a nearby Radio Tower. While much of the area is accessed via a primitive Jeep Trail, the map reveals a meticulously surveyed grid of elevation benchmarks, including BM 2493 and BM 2545, which trace the subtle rise and fall of the High Plains topography.
