1972 Map of Big Bald Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Big Bald Hill rises as the central topographic landmark in this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape defined by its distinctive dune formations and isolated ranching outposts. This 1970s survey captures a sparsely settled portion of Keith County where human presence is marked primarily by large private holdings such as Barnt Ranch in the north and Rudd Ranch to the southeast. The map details a complex network of fence lines and windmills, reflecting the infrastructure required for cattle ranching in an arid environment. The terrain is characterized by the intricate contour patterns of the hills, providing a precise record of the natural landforms before modern land use might alter the subtle drainage and blowouts characteristic of this region.
