1972 Map of Lodgepole SW

About this map

The Nebraska-Colorado state line bisects this 1972 survey, capturing a high plains landscape defined by drainage patterns and early cultural sites. The rolling terrain is marked by the seasonal flow of Cow Creek in the north and Cottonwood Creek in the south, which cut through the open country of Cheyenne County and Logan County. Human impact on this rural expanse is most visible in the proximity of two historic burial grounds, the Czech Slovensky Cem and Swankee Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this border region. Transport infrastructure is represented by the path of Interstate 80 cutting across the northern portion of the map, while several Gravel Pits indicate local natural resource extraction during the early 1970s.
