1956 Map of Sieler

About this map

Agricultural development and industrial infrastructure define this mid-century landscape in Grant County. The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path across the terrain, passing through the small settlements of McDonald and Sieler. This period shows the heavy influence of irrigation and industry on the arid landscape, most notably with the massive East Low Canal and its associated siphons and pipelines that distribute water through the region. To the north, the Sugar Beet Refinery stands as a central landmark of the local economy. The western edge of the survey is dominated by a shifting natural landscape of Sand Dunes, providing a stark contrast to the surveyed grid of Base Line Road and the entertainment found at the local Drive-in Theater.
