1955 Map of Granada NW

About this map

Big Sandy Creek and the Comanche Canal dominate this mid-century view of the Prowers County high plains. This 1955 study reveals a landscape defined by water management and rural education, where the Amity Canal works alongside an extensive Levee system to control the erratic flow of the local drainages. The map records specific rural infrastructure such as a Siphon, a Flume, and a Road on Levee, indicating a highly engineered agricultural environment. Notable local landmarks for genealogical research include the Sand Creek Sch and the Goodale Sch, providing evidence of the community's distribution before further consolidation. Elevated terrain features like Tenmile Point and Stony Point provide geographic markers above the creek beds, while a small Airstrip in the northwest corner highlights early private aviation in the region.
