1955 Map of Wilcox

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The settlement of Wilcox stands as a rail-side waypoint along the Union Pacific tracks in this mid-century portrait of Albany County. This high-plains landscape is defined by the vital movement of water and transit, where the meandering course of Rock Creek is paralleled by an intricate network of irrigation channels including Bosler Ditch No 3, Taylor Ditch, and Johnston Ditch. The infrastructure for heavy transit is prominent, with the Lincoln Highway and Garrett Road cutting across the terrain, while an Old RR Grade in the northeast corner hints at earlier routes through the basin. Local landmarks like the Historical Monument and a Landing Field with its associated Hangar suggest the area's significance beyond mere grazing land, while Pine Tree Ridge provides the primary topographic relief in an otherwise expansive corridor of plains and pipelines.
