1949 Map of Shawnee

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Shawnee serves as a focal point in the northeast corner of this Converse County landscape, situated along the line of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. The topography is defined by the drainage patterns of Shawnee Creek and Lost Creek, which wind through the plains toward the North Platte River at the southern edge of the sheet. This 1949 survey, conducted as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, shows a sparsely populated ranching region punctuated by small rail-side settlements like Fisher. The placement of the local Cem near Shawnee and numerous windmills across the rangeland underscores the self-sufficient nature of these early Wyoming communities. The transition from the high prairie to the river valley bottom is clearly marked, illustrating the vital role of water access in an otherwise arid environment.
