1972 Map of Big Bald Hill SE

About this map

Keith Co and Lincoln Co meet in this 1970s survey of the Nebraska sandhills, a landscape defined by its rolling topography and sparse human footprint. The primary landmark of this rural region is Glen Echo Ch, situated near the center of the sheet and serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching community. The map illustrates a country largely shaped by its hydrology and livestock needs, specifically noting several Well locations and a network of secondary and unimproved roads that trace the valleys between the high dunes. This survey captures the area at a moment when traditional land use patterns remained dominant across the county line, providing a precise record of the isolated structures and boundaries that define this portion of the Great Plains.
