About this map

The Republican River valley forms the geographic heart of this Red Willow County landscape, where the city of Mc Cook serves as a vital regional hub for education, transport, and commerce. This 1970 survey (with 1983 revisions) captures a sophisticated network of water management infrastructure, including the Culbertson Extension Canal and Meeker Extension Canal, which supported the area's agricultural productivity.

Social and civic life is anchored by institutions such as McCook College, St Patricks Sch, and several municipal parks like Kelley Park and Norris Park. The transportation importance of the region is evident in the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and the Mc Cook Municipal Airport. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of rural landmarks like St John Cem and School No 31, offering a precise record of the community's footprint in the late twentieth century.
