1969 Map of Vernon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

North Fork Republican River winds through the northern portion of this High Plains landscape, a region characterized by extensive Dune formations and agricultural infrastructure. In the late 1960s, the terrain was dotted with numerous Wells, reflecting the reliance on groundwater for the surrounding farm and ranch land. Of particular note for local aviation history and genealogical research are several private airstrips associated with local families, including the Lundvall Brothers Landing Field, Stultz Landing Field, and the Dickson Landing Strip. These features, along with the detailed grid of property lines and section boundaries like the line between T. 1 S. and T. 2 S., provide a clear view of the rural development and land use patterns in Yuma County during this era.
