1951 Map of Steverson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Arkansas Valley and the surrounding Sandhills of Cherry County are defined by a unique mosaic of ranching outposts and shallow lakes. This mid-century survey illustrates a landscape where water and family heritage dictated settlement, with prominent holdings such as Knudsen Ranch, Metzger Ranch, and Carver Ranch scattered across the Enlow terrain. The mapping reveals a sparse but organized community structure, supported by a network of rural schoolhouses including North School No 135 and School No 151. The hydrology of the region is intricate, featuring numerous water bodies like Steverson Lake, Home Valley Lake, and Buffalo Lake, alongside the distinctive Flowing Well sites that provided vital water for livestock. Transportation was largely dictated by the natural corridors of Survey Valley and the Middle Prong, with a dedicated Landing Field serving this isolated interior.
