1960 Map of Purcell

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Purcell serves as the primary focal point of this high-plains landscape, situated along an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the era's evolving transportation network. The terrain is defined by the broad depressions of Eastman Basin and a series of intermittent drainages including Coal Creek, Wildhorse Creek, and Owl Creek. This 1960 survey illustrates a region where water management was critical for ranching and agriculture, as evidenced by several engineered catchments such as Thomas Lake Reservoir and McGrew Reservoir.
