1973 Map of Potter 2 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Lawrence Fork meanders across the center of this 1973 orthophotoquad, revealing the complex drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in Banner County. The aerial perspective, derived from imagery captured by the U.S. Geological Survey in May of that year, highlights the contrast between the deep incisions of Rocky Hollow and the surrounding tablelands. Unlike a traditional topographic line map, this orthophotomosaic provides a literal view of land use, where dark, rectilinear patterns indicate cultivated fields of winter wheat or fallow strips sharply defined against the lighter, broken terrain of the valley breaks. The scarcity of named landmarks underscores the remote character of this ranching and farming region, where the natural watercourses and geological depressions remain the primary orienting features for local families and researchers.
