1950 Map of Rumford

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Rumford serves as a lonely outpost along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line, representing a critical waypoint in the semi-arid landscape of Fall River County. The area’s geography is defined by the sharp transition between the Plains and Plain Valley, where the drainage network of Plum Creek, Piney Creek, and Hat Creek carves through the terrain. The introduction of an Irrigation Canal near the Horse Creek drainage indicates 1950s efforts to manage water for agriculture in this dry environment. To the south, the Christensen Sch provided a central gathering point for ranching families scattered across Squaw Flat and the surrounding rangeland. The map detail highlights several Windmills, essential infrastructure for maintaining livestock where natural water sources were seasonal or unreliable.
