1950 Map of Rumford

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Rumford serves as a small rail-side anchor in the southwestern corner of this landscape, situated along the diagonal path of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad. The geography is defined by a network of drainages including Plum Creek and Piney Creek that carve through the rugged breaks of Craven Canyon. The mapping, based on 1950 fieldwork with 1974 revisions, reveals an environment managed for agriculture and livestock, evidenced by the presence of an Irrigation Canal feeding into Horse Creek and scattered windmills across the Plains. The transition from the high relief of the canyon lands to the open expanses of Squaw Flat and Plain Valley illustrates the varied topography of this Fall River County territory during the mid-20th century.
