1953 Map of Hightower

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Sybille Creek winds through this Platte County landscape, anchoring a rural territory defined by early water management and small-town infrastructure. The settlement of Hightower and the stop at Wilson sit along the Colorado and Southern (Burlington) railroad line, which served as the primary transit artery for this agricultural region. The map reveals an extensive network of irrigation, including the Mullen Ditch, Muleshoe Drain, and Iowa Lateral, reflecting the complex engineering required to support ranching and farming in the High Plains.
