1964 Map of Tuttle Creek Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Tuttle Creek Reservoir dominates this landscape on the border of Riley and Pottawatomie counties, created by the massive earth-fill Tuttle Creek dam. The map details the newly altered geography following the reservoir's completion, showing the submerged river valley and the creation of Spillway State Park and River Pond State Park just below the dam. To the north, the terrain is deeply dissected by tributaries like Carnahan Creek and McIntire Creek, where family heritage is preserved at the Carnahan-Garrison Cem. Industrial activity is evident at the Quarries near the dam, while the eastern portion of the sheet remains largely agricultural within Pottawatomie and Green townships. The map serves as a primary record of the mid-1960s transformation of the Blue River valley into a major water management and recreation area.
