1949 Map of Spring Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Horseshoe Creek and its northern branch, North Horseshoe Creek, dominate this high-plains landscape in Platte County, where water resources dictated the pattern of ranching and early settlement. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, rising toward Deer Hill in the southwest and defined by deep incisions like Sand Draw and Reeder Draw. Published in 1982 with data from 1949 and late-seventies revisions, the sheet captures a transition toward modern energy infrastructure, evidenced by the prominent Pipe Line corridor cutting across the northern reaches near Whiskey Gulch. Scattered Windmills serve as vital landmarks for local history researchers, indicating specific points of long-term habitation and land use across this drainage-fed environment where Coyote Creek and Pollard Creek converge.
