About this map

Middle Fork Beaver Creek and its southern counterpart, the South Fork Beaver Creek, carve a distinct drainage pattern through this portion of Sherman County. This mid-1960s survey documents a landscape defined by the intersection of four townships—Grant, Voltaire, Lincoln, and Logan—highlighting a rural agricultural character where water management and extraction were paramount.

For those researching family history or local land use, the presence of the New Liberty Cem in the western reaches provides a specific point of genealogical interest. The map's detail extends to practical infrastructure, noting various locations labeled Well and a localized Sandpit, which reflect the area's reliance on groundwater and local materials for construction and maintenance during this era.
