1951 Map of Living Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Living Springs and the nearby Living Springs Ranch center this post-war landscape in Adams County, where agricultural survival relied on a network of water management and aeronautical navigation. The terrain is defined by the braided courses of Kiowa Creek, Comanche Creek, and Sand Creek, which cut through the drainage basins of the Missouri River system. Evidence of shifting water infrastructure is visible in the Henrylyn Canal (Abandoned) in the northwest, a reminder of early 20th-century irrigation efforts. The map records several scattered windmills and wells essential for cattle ranching, alongside modern landmarks like a Silo and a CAA Beacon, the latter indicating the region's position beneath established flight paths. Features such as Long Draw and Wolf Creek further detail the complex topography of this high plains environment during the early 1950s.
