1959 Map of Garwood
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Colorado River meanders through the eastern edge of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by extensive irrigation networks and oil production. The engineering of the Elevated Canal systems reflects the area's agricultural reliance on water management, while the presence of the Englehart Oil Field and Frnka Oil Field highlights the mid-century energy economy. In the settlement of Garwood, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line runs parallel to the river, supported by local infrastructure like the Airstrip and a cluster of Grain Bins. Further south, the community of Nada centers around local institutions such as St Mary Sch and the Nada Cem. The map provides detailed locations for family-named burial sites including Garwood Methodist Cem and Garwood Cem, making it a valuable resource for documenting the physical history of this Colorado County rural corridor.
