1969 Map of Hawk Coulee

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Section School stands as a lonely institutional marker in this part of Valley County, where the landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Cherry Creek and Foss Coulee. The terrain is characterized by deep coulees and intermittent springs that dictated the placement of early infrastructure. Infrastructure development by the late 1960s is evidenced by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and the presence of a Drive-in Theater near the southern boundary, suggesting a community hub serving the surrounding rural population. The map also documents utilitarian land use, including multiple Gravel Pit sites and Sewage Disposal Ponds. Tracing the paths of Hawk Coulee and its East Fork Hawk Coulee, one can see how the natural topography influenced the regional transit and settlement patterns in this portion of the Missouri River Basin.
