About this map

Table Mountain and the distinct formation of Togy Mound dominate the northwestern horizon of this 1960 landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate irrigation systems of the North Platte river basin. The map documents a critical agricultural boundary, straddling the Wyoming-Nebraska border and the line between Goshen and Scotts Bluff counties. This era is defined by water management, with the Fort Laramie Canal and Kiowa Canal cutting through Crockett Meadows to support local farming.

Evidence of rural life and transit is preserved in the location of the Union Pacific railroad corridor, which passes through the small settlement of Janise. Local education is anchored by the Kiowa Sch and Standard Sch, while the natural drainage of South Horse Creek and Robb Draw underscores the varied topography. For those tracing regional development, the map details the infrastructure of the day, from a Gaging Sta to a designated Landing Area near the center of the sheet.
