1963 Map of Lingle

About this map

Lingle serves as a vital agricultural and transport hub in the North Platte Valley, situated where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad intersects with an extensive irrigation network. The landscape is defined by the engineering of the Interstate Canal and Lucerne Canal, which divert water to sustain the surrounding plains. Genealogists can locate both Valley View Cem and Lingle Cem on the outskirts of the settlement, while historians may trace the Emigrant Trail (Approximate Location) as it parallels the modern transit corridors. To the north, the terrain rises into breaks and draws such as Witty Draw and Rawhide Creek, leading toward prominent landmarks like P F Hill and Tea Kettle Rock Road. Small family-named features like Willy Windmill and Bowen Spring illustrate the era's reliance on localized water sources for ranching operations.
