2020 Map of Vida

About this map

Vida serves as a central point in this northern McCone County landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the drainage networks of the Missouri River plateau. The settlement is anchored by the Vida Cem and an intersection of local routes, reflecting the dispersed nature of high plains homesteading. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent waterways including Wolf Creek and Presserville Cr, which carve deep into the topography to create features like Gold Gulch and Gady Coulee. This drainage pattern dictates the placement of rural infrastructure, such as Wheatland Rd and Ball Park Rd, which navigate the rises and falls between the coulees. The map illustrates a contemporary view of this enduring farming and ranching region, preserved through the maintenance of section lines and family-named roads.
