1961 Map of Glendo
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The North Platte River defines the landscape of this 1961 Wyoming survey, showing the transformative impact of the Glendo Reservoir. Managed as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, the reservoir is framed by the Glendo State Park and the rugged topography of the Grey Hills and Red Canyon. The town of Glendo sits at the southwestern edge of the sheet, served by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad, which parallels the shoreline. A series of quarries and a Gravel Pit indicate the local industrial activity tied to the region's geological resources. Traces of early aviation and communication are also present, marked by a Landing Strip and a Radio Tower near the water's edge. The map also records water sources essential for high plains survival, such as Buffalo Springs, Upper State Spring, and Whiskey Gulch.
