1955 Map of Sevenmile Spring

About this map

The Old Fort Fetterman Road serves as a primary north-south artery through this Albany County landscape, tracing a historical path through the high plains. The terrain is defined by its water sources, which were critical for ranching and travel in this arid region. Significant landmarks include Sevenmile Spring and Mud Springs in the northwest, while Sevenmile Creek meanders across the central portion of the quadrangle. A visible Telephone and Pipeline Line cuts through the southern reaches, signaling the mid-century infrastructure developments appearing in this part of the Missouri River Basin. Smaller water points like Boswell Spring highlight the scattered nature of reliable hydration for livestock and early travelers navigating the rugged hills and draws.
