1951 Map of Padroni NW

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Peetz Table dominates the high-plateau geography of Logan County, giving way to the dramatic relief of Lewis Canyon as the landscape descends toward the east. This 1951 survey reveals a remote agricultural and industrial landscape defined by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line, which skirts the base of the canyon breaks. The distribution of resources is centered on ranching and early energy extraction, evidenced by the Buss Ranch and several Gas Wells and Gravel Pits scattered across the northern sections. Water management in this arid terrain is highly localized, marked by numerous Windmills and isolated Springs that supported livestock. The presence of the VABM McCrea geodetic marker atop the plateau highlights the precision mapping of the Missouri River Basin development program during the early 1950s.
