About this map

The rolling plains of Ellsworth County are defined here by a series of north-south drainage systems, most notably East Elkhorn Creek and Mulberry Creek. In the late 1950s, this rural landscape remained organized by township sections, where small institutions like School No 79 and the Clear Creek Cem served the local farming community. The topography is marked by distinctive elevation changes, particularly around Table Rock in the eastern portion of the survey. The mapping reveals a sparse but established settlement pattern, with long-standing land divisions like Garfield and Carneiro framing the agricultural character of the region. Waterways like Alum Creek and Clear Creek cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural irrigation and drainage that dictated the placement of homesteads and early country roads.
