1956 Map of Glen Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Glen Mountains dominate this central Kiowa County landscape, rising sharply above the surrounding plains during the mid-1950s. The settlement of Cooperton sits in the northeast corner, while the northern edge of Mountain Park anchors the southern boundary near the banks of Snyder Lake. This era of documentation reveals a transition from mineral extraction to a more settled rural economy, noted by a Gold Mine (Abandoned) south of the ridge. The path of the St Louis San Francisco railroad cuts through the southwestern corner, following the natural corridors formed by West Otter Creek and Glen Creek. These waterways, including the prominent Otter Creek, define the drainage patterns of the Cooper and Otter Creek regions, providing a clear view of the area's geological and logistical layout before modern expansion.
