1958 Map of Alliance

About this map

Fort Robinson stands as a focal point in the northwest corner of this western Nebraska landscape, adjacent to the Fort Robinson Bee and Cattle Research Station. The mid-century geography is defined by the transition from the rugged Pine Ridge breaks near Chadron to the expansive Sand Hills of the southeast. Significant infrastructure of the era is evident at the Alliance Air Force Base (Inactive) and the Box Butte Reservoir, which managed water for the arid high plains.
