1949 Map of Ashby

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Large-scale cattle ranching and rail transport define this 1949 Nebraska Sandhills landscape, where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad cuts through the southern reaches to serve the communities of Ashby and Hyannis. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of dunes and interdunal valleys, such as Hospital Valley and Brown Valley, which are dotted with dozens of natural lakes and flowing wells. Notable water bodies include the expansive Mother Lake and the smaller Soda Lake, which provided essential water sources for the numerous family-owned operations scattered across the region.
