1972 Map of Applegate Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

West Birdwood Creek winds through the northern portion of this Nebraska landscape, providing a vital water source for the ranching operations that define this region of Lincoln County. The map captures a moment in the early 1970s when the land was sparsely settled, centered on cattle ranching and rural education. Centrally located landmarks like Applegate Ranch and Mueller Ranch illustrate the localized importance of specific family holdings in the Sandhills-adjacent terrain. For those researching local education history, the presence of School No 104R near the creek indicates the persistence of rural school districts serving these large landholdings. The geography is marked by numerous springs and small basins, creating a unique hydrological pattern typical of this part of the state before modern agricultural shifts.
