Kenneth Jessen photo collectionNotesDerived title. Photographer's note: "Model, located on U.S. 350 at County Road 52.2, was named in hopes that it would become a "model" town. It was first named Poso, and the name Model was probably considered an improvement. A town plat was filed in 1911 for Model City by the Model Land and Irrigation Company, and a second town plat for Model was filed in 1913 by the Model Townsite and Investment Company. The two places are separated by about three miles with the Model 1913 site located along U.S. 350. An abandoned service station marks this site."DonorGift; Kenneth Jessen; 2020.
