1982 Map of Milford Dam

About this map

Milford Lake dominates the landscape in this early 1980s topography, illustrating the significant hydrological engineering that transformed the Republican River valley. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists and local historians as it documents the remnants of the settlement of Alida, which was largely displaced by the reservoir's waters. Submerged contours and several relocated or preserved landmarks, such as Alida Cem, St Johns Cem, and Alida-Upland Cem, provide a critical spatial record of the area's pre-dam history.
