About this map

Lodgepole serves as the primary hub in this southern Cheyenne County landscape, where the town site is organized along the Lodgepole Creek valley. The map documents the community's structural layout in the early 21st century, centered on landmarks such as the Lodgepole Post Office and the grid formed by Front St, Latham St, and McCall St. This area reflects the typical high plains agricultural pattern, defined by a rectilinear road system that includes Road 34 and Road 30, which facilitate movement between the valley floor and the surrounding plateaus.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the local geography, evidenced by features such as Fenske Dam and Deford Dam. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Pleasantview Cemetery, situated on the eastern edge of the quadrangle along Road 149. The relationship between the settlement and the creek suggests a long history of riparian-based development in an otherwise semi-arid region.
