1970 Map of Prescott East

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Little Missouri River meanders through the northeast corner of this Nevada County landscape, defining the boundary with Clark County. The Missouri Pacific railroad serves as a primary transport artery, connecting the community of Boughton with the larger settlement of Prescott to the west. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a rural economy heavily reliant on resource extraction and local institutions, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits and country churches like Macedonia Ch and Moscow Ch that anchor the surrounding townships. Of particular interest to genealogists are the well-distributed burial grounds, including Washington Hill Cem and Providence Cem. Significant aviation and infrastructure features such as Kizer Airfield and a riverside Pumping Station indicate the modernization of the area's utility and transportation networks during this era.
