1968 Map of Mc Kay Hollow

About this map

Water management and grazing land define the high country of Rich County on this late-1960s survey. The terrain is marked by a series of high-altitude water storage points, including Neponset Reservoir and the tiered Saleratus Reservoir No 1, Saleratus Reservoir No 2, and Saleratus Reservoir No 3 located near Saleratus Creek. These reservoirs, along with numerous named springs like Chicken Spring and Negro Dan Spring, suggest a landscape historically utilized for livestock and seasonal irrigation.
