About this map

Lodgepole Creek flows through this High Plains landscape, a vital water source in the western Nebraska panhandle during the late 1970s. The presence of the Bennett Reservoir in the southeast corner anchor the local drainage system, while the surrounding terrain is marked by an extensive network of extractive industry. Numerous Oil Wells and a Pump are scattered across the township lines, indicating the energy development that shaped the economy of Kimball County in this era. Communication and infrastructure are further evidenced by several Radio Towers and the Radio Tower (KIMB) located near the southern boundary. The map also documents multiple Gravel Pits, showing how local materials were harvested for regional road and construction needs amidst the open prairie and ranchland.
