1970 Map of McCook East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Republican River irrigation systems and rail infrastructure dominate this 1970 snapshot of Red Willow County. The landscape is defined by the complex water engineering of the Meeker Canal and its Meeker Extension Canal, which cut through the terrain alongside the Burlington Northern railroad. The eastern portion of McCook is well-established here, showing educational landmarks like McCook College, St Patricks Sch, and the East Ward Sch. Outside the city center, the map transitions into the agricultural precincts of Willow Grove and Valley Grange. A rural community hub is visible to the southeast at St John Ch and the adjacent St John Cem. The integration of the McCook Municipal Airport and numerous Gravel Pits reflects the mid-century industrial and transit development of this Nebraska plains hub.
