About this map

Big Sandy Creek winds through this Lincoln County landscape, defining the local hydrology and settlement patterns in the late 1970s. The Union Pacific railroad corridor cuts a sharp diagonal across the northeastern corner, marking the primary transportation artery for the region. Evidence of rural infrastructure is found at Liberty Cem, a key landmark for genealogical research and local history. The terrain is dotted with several natural water sources, including a Spring and multiple Springs, which likely served as vital points for early ranching and agriculture. Industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit and Well near the rail line, while a prominent Radio Tower and an extensive underground Pipeline represent the modern utility footprint that characterized the area during this era of U.S. Geological Survey mapping.
