1950 Map of Simeon

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Valentine National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern half of this landscape, encompassing a dense network of Sandhills lakes. Water bodies including Pelican Lake, Hackberry Lake, and Whitewater Lake characterize the hydrology of the Cherry County interior, while Gordon Creek and Schlagel Creek drain the northern reaches. The settlement of Simeon and the Simeon PO serve as the primary local hubs for a territory defined by isolated cattle operations. Numerous family-named homesteads such as Gordon Valley Ranch, Miller Ranch, and Lovejoy Ranch are noted across the quadrangle, reflecting the region's ranching economy during the mid-century. Educational and utility infrastructure is also recorded, featuring rural outposts like School No 20, Duck Lake Sch, and Lookout Tower No 1, which provides a vantage point over the expansive lake systems and surrounding Cleveland and Evergreen terrain.
