1959 Map of Union Center

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Union Center serves as the primary hub in this late 1950s survey of eastern Meade County, showing a rural landscape defined by ranching and small-scale infrastructure. The presence of the South Pleasant View Sch in the northern portion of the quadrangle indicates the established, albeit sparse, community network of the era. The terrain is marked by a complex system of seasonal drainages, including East Elm Creek, West Bull Creek, and the long channel of Maddox Draw. These watercourses dictate the placement of ranch properties such as the M P Ranch near the northwestern corner. Local industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pits near the town center, while a small Levee reflects early water management efforts in this semi-arid region. This map is particularly valuable for tracing rural school districts and family ranch boundaries before many smaller holdings were consolidated or moved.
