1986 Map of Linscott SE

About this map

Sand Valley dominates the northern half of this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the distinctive topography of Custer County. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain through the lens of a provisional survey based on 1983 aerial photography. Evidence of land use and water management is visible through the presence of a Well and the drainage pattern of Dry Creek to the south. This area, spanning the township lines of T 19 N and T 18 N, represents a quiet agricultural or ranching environment before the arrival of modern digital mapping. The labels and contours reflect the essential infrastructure and natural features relied upon by local residents and land managers in the late twentieth century.
