1954 Map of Grand Island

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Missouri River cuts a wide path through the Missouri River Basin in this mid-century survey, defining the boundary between Phillips and Fergus counties. The landscape is dominated by the expansive Fort Peck Game Range, where high ground like Barnes Ridge, Two Calf Ridge, and Knox Ridge overlooks the river valley. Along the water, distinct features such as Grand Island, Upper Two Calf I, and Lower Two Calf Island break the river's flow, while Kendall Bottoms provides a rare stretch of level terrain below the bluffs. The map's topography, developed from 1952 aerial photography, captures the intricate network of drainages including Antelope Creek and Reed Coulee, which carve through the breaks toward the Missouri. Human activity is sparse, marked only by remote triangulation points like VABM Crystal and a solitary Landing Strip near the southern edge.
