1955 Map of St. Joseph 2 NE

About this map

Joseph City serves as the central hub of this mid-century landscape, positioned along the critical transit corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The map documents a community deeply reliant on water management in an arid environment, evidenced by a network of infrastructure including a Siphon, a Water Tank, and numerous Stock Tanks scattered across the high ground. The Little Colorado River meanders through the center of the sheet, joined by seasonal drainages such as Manila Wash, Mesa Wash, and Tanner Wash.
