1971 Map of Alvin NE

About this map

Colorado and Nebraska meet in this rural landscape where the High Plains stretch across state and county lines. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by a sparse distribution of agricultural infrastructure, primarily a network of scattered wells that supported the region's ranching or farming operations. The map documents the convergence of four distinct administrative regions: Phillips County and Chase County, Phillips County and Yuma County, and Yuma County and Chase County. Industrial activity is limited but present, marked by a single Gravel Pit along the western edge. This survey provides a precise record of section lines and property boundaries in a tri-state borderland before significant modern development, anchored by geodetic markers such as BM 3604 and BM 3577.
