1951 Map of Homan

About this map

The Red River dominates this Miller County landscape, its meandering path defined by a series of oxbows and abandoned channels like Old River Lake, Cut-off Lake, and Young Lake. This survey, based on 1951 fieldwork with 1970 revisions, highlights the extensive Levee systems and drainage infrastructure required to manage the flood-prone bottomlands. Settlement is concentrated along the Missouri Pacific railroad line, which runs through the community of Homan and past Clear Lake Junction in the southeast.
