1967 Map of Miller NW

About this map

Shaefer Creek and Lost Creek wind through the prairie landscape of Hand County in this late 1960s survey. The map details a strictly rural environment structured by the township system, showing the boundaries of Howell, Carlton, Florence, and Holden. A distinct network of country schools highlights the local educational landscape of the era, including Spring Valley Sch in the west, Sunrise Sch to the east, and Odessa Sch near Wolf Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Aside from these schools, the land is characterized by section-line roads and scattered Gravel Pits, indicating a landscape focused on agriculture and basic infrastructure. The topography was partially mapped for the development of the Missouri River Basin, documenting the drainage patterns of these prairie tributaries.
