1980 Map of Andrews

About this map

Andrews serves as a lone rail-side outpost in this northwestern Nebraska landscape, situated where the Chicago and North Western line crosses the White River. This 1980 edition documents a terrain defined by deep draws and canyons, most notably Beans Canyon and the winding course of Boggy Creek to the north. A significant portion of the eastern territory is dedicated to the Nebraska National Forest (Soldier Creek Management Unit), a protected area where the Middle Fork Soldier Creek and the main branch of Soldier Creek converge. The presence of Soldier Spring and several named drainages like Tucker Creek highlights the vital role of water sources in this cattle-ranching country. The map captures the intersection of the region's early transportation infrastructure and its managed wilderness, providing a clear view of the section lines and topography before more modern development reached this part of Sioux County.
