About this map

Abbott Ranch and a network of family-held homesteads anchor this section of the Nebraska Sandhills along the border of Holt and Garfield counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Cedar Creek and its tributary, Little Cedar Creek, which cut through the distinctive Beat Flats terrain. This 1981 edition, based on earlier field checks, reveals a ranching economy supported by numerous wells and several flowing wells scattered across the undulating prairie. Local community life is centered around the Cedar Creek Ch and rural education outposts like the Cedar Valley Sch and Swan Sch. The map provides a precise record of late-20th-century land use, including prominent properties such as Price Ranch, Lee Ranch, and the Huffman Ranch, connected by a sparse network of unimproved roads and section-line fences.
