1979 Map of Agate

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Niobrara River carves a winding path through this western Nebraska landscape, serving as the central geographic feature of the High Plains terrain. The region is defined by the Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, which protects significant paleontological sites along the river bluffs. Near the monument boundary lies the small settlement of Agate, positioned along the riverbank near a Gaging Sta. The map reflects a sparsely populated ranching and scientific landscape where institutional footprints are rare, though the Grandview Sch to the north indicates the presence of a rural community at the end of the 1970s. Numerous wells scattered across the topography highlight the vital importance of groundwater management in this arid stretch of Sioux County.
