1971 Map of Paxton South

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The South Platte River valley dominates this early 1970s landscape, serving as a critical corridor for transportation and water management. The town of Paxton is situated in the north, anchored by the Union Pacific railroad and Interstate 80. This survey highlights the complex engineering of the High Plains, where the Sutherland Canal and South Platte Supply Canal cut across the terrain to manage the region's water resources. Evidence of local community life appears in the southern portion of the map at School No 16, while the Paxton Cem lies just south of the main settlement. The presence of several Gravel Pit locations along the river indicates the importance of local material extraction for the infrastructure of Keith and Lincoln counties during this period.
