1949 Map of Glenrock NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The rolling plains of Converse County are defined here by a network of water-drawing infrastructure and early petroleum development. The South Cole Creek Unit (Oil Field) and scattered Oil Wells mark the industrial activity of the late 1940s, while the landscape is dotted with numerous Windmills critical for livestock ranching, such as at Hyland Ranch. Topographically, the area is carved by Lone Tree Gulch and Sand Cr, leading toward the high point at VABM Brown 5754. A distinct aviation landmark, the CAA Building, sits near the southern boundary, reflecting the region's role in mid-century aerial navigation and the development of the Missouri River Basin. The presence of both an abandoned well and windmill suggests a shifting landscape of resource extraction and water management during this era.
