1969 Map of Meade NE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Crooked Creek meanders through this portion of the High Plains, carving a distinct path across a landscape defined by broad upland flats and wide valley floors. In the late 1960s, the region's economy is clearly anchored in both its geology and its infrastructure. To the south, the industrial extraction of resources is evident at the Cudahay Mine and a nearby Silica Pit, located where the terrain transitions into the Artesian Valley. This map captures a moment when traditional land use is increasingly intersected by modern utilities, as multiple pipelines cut straight paths across the natural contours of West Hess and East Hess. The surveyor's notes reveal a land of subtle relief, where the agricultural and industrial potential of Fowler Valley is supported by numerous wells scattered across the open plains.
