1962 Map of Trenton SE

About this map

Swanson Lake anchors the northern edge of this early 1960s survey, marking a significant landscape of controlled inundation and water management in the Missouri River Basin. The terrain is defined by a series of deeply etched drainages, including Jones Canyon, Spring Canyon, and Wildhorse Canyon, which cut through the high plains toward the Driftwood Creek system. This area, spanning the Nebraska Kansas Base Line, shows a rural economy transitioning between traditional agriculture and early energy exploration, evidenced by several Oil Wells scattered across the uplands.
