1970 Map of McCook West

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Republican River valley and its complex irrigation network define this 1970 snapshot of the High Plains landscape. The city of Mc Cook serves as the regional anchor, showcasing mid-century infrastructure including the St Catherines Hosp, Norris Park, and several local schools like the North Ward Sch and Central Sch. The arrival of the Burlington Northern railroad supported the area's growth, running parallel to the river and the small settlement of Perry. Rural education is marked by numbered facilities such as School No 23 and School No 8, which were still prominent landmarks at this time. An intricate system of water management is visible through the Meeker Driftwood Canal and numerous Siphons, reflecting the critical importance of irrigation for agriculture along the Driftwood Creek and the broader Driftwood terrain.
