1952 Map of Almeria NE

About this map

North Loup River flows through the southwestern corner of this 1952 Nebraska landscape, defining a narrow corridor of water and activity in an otherwise high-country terrain. The presence of an Abandoned Canal running parallel to the river suggests early attempts at irrigation and water management that had already fallen out of use by the mid-century. This area of Loup County is characterized by distinctive named terrain such as Bloody and Strohl, which hint at the local ranching and settlement history of the region.
