1954 Map of Bartlett NW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Buffalo Flats dominates the northern expanse of this Wheeler County terrain, illustrating the characteristic topography of the Nebraska sandhills. This survey, based on aerial photography from the early 1950s, documents a landscape defined by localized depressions and intermittent water features typical of the Missouri River Basin development area. While primarily an open grazing territory, the map records the specific location of the Griffin Ridge Sch in the southern portion, serving as a vital landmark for local genealogy and the history of rural education in the region. Infrastructure is sparse, marked largely by an occasional Windmill providing water for livestock, reflecting the enduring ranching economy that shaped these plains. The 1980s photorevisions highlight subtle changes in woodland cover, contrasting the mid-century field conditions with later environmental shifts.
