About this map

High plains terrain along the Nebraska-Colorado border dominates this 1972 survey, centered on the infrastructure of Sidney Municipal Airport. The landscape is a study in rural utility, where Interstate 80 cuts a sharp horizontal line across the northern townships, passing a designated Rest Area. Near the city of Sidney, local entertainment and communication are represented by the Drive-in Theater and multiple radio installations, including a Radio Facility and Radio Tower.

Genealogists and local historians will find several landmarks of interest, such as the Grand Prairie Cem and the Trinity Sch, which serve as anchors for the surrounding agricultural community. The drainage patterns of Cow Creek and Cottonwood Creek dictate the topography of the southern portion of the map, leading down toward the Nebraska-Colorado state line and the boundary between Cheyenne and Logan counties.
