Old Pattern of Community Servies on Plains Changing
A 1949 census study of Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming shows counties diverging by density. In sparse areas two or fewer persons per square mile hinder services. in mid-density zones three to five per square mile prompt modified residence patterns and long range road planning. in higher density areas six or more per square mile, strong community life hinges on well adopted services. Town farming and dual residence illustrate evolving patterns as counties adjust roads, schools and utilities to serve farm populations.
