1960 Map of Huntley

About this map

Irrigation infrastructure and agricultural development define this portion of the Missouri River Basin during the mid-20th century. The landscape is heavily structured by the Springer Main Canal and an extensive network of drainage systems, most notably the Katzer Drain and its numerous lettered branches. These man-made watercourses support the small settlements of Huntley and Holly, reflecting the area's transition into a managed farming region. The Union Pacific railroad line, featuring the Pacific Siphon, cuts through the central terrain, anchoring the local transport network. To the south, the natural path of Horse Creek provides a contrast to the engineered geometry of the northern irrigation districts. Genealogists and local historians can locate smaller landmarks like the Hillview Home or the local Gravel Pit, which point to the rural residential and industrial character of Goshen County at the time.
