1970 Map of Bohemian Creek

About this map

The White River winds through the southern reaches of this Nebraska landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of West Chadron. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a quiet, open terrain defined by the winding paths of Bohemian Creek, Rush Creek, and Madden Creek. The presence of several Gravel Pits and Gravel Pit locations suggests the local importance of aggregate mining for regional infrastructure during this era. Straddling the border between Dawes County and South Dakota, the map documents a sparse settlement pattern dominated by large agricultural tracts and basic roadway networks like Route 385. Researchers will find a network of section lines and fence markings that delineate the ranching and farming boundaries of the northwestern Nebraska panhandle.
