1971 Map of Barn Butte

About this map

The Oregon Trail cuts across this high-plains landscape in Garden County, following a path just south of the North Platte River. This portion of Nebraska’s panhandle is defined by a dramatic transition from the river valley to the tablelands, marked by prominent landmarks such as Barn Butte and McCuligan Butte. The presence of the Midland Overland Canal and Lost Creek in the northeast corner illustrates the early 1970s irrigation infrastructure supporting local agriculture near the Union Pacific rail line.
