1979 Map of Tasco

About this map

Tasco serves as the primary settlement hub in this Sheridan County landscape, situated along the Union Pacific railroad line. The topography is defined by the winding course of the South Fork Solomon River, which carves a broad valley across the northern half of the quadrangle. Significant water features including Sand Creek, Cortez Creek, and Martin Creek drain into this river system, illustrating the complex hydrology of the High Plains. To the south, the terrain shifts toward the headwaters of the North Fork Saline River, where the landscape is marked by numerous Oil Wells and a designated Oil Field. This 1970s survey documents the intersection of agricultural river valleys and the local energy industry, with a small Cem and several Sandpits providing specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
