1986 Map of Bourquim Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Bourquim Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, where the landscape is defined by a rhythmic series of northwest-to-southeast trending valleys. These depressions, such as Dunlap Valley, Cochran Valley, and Benscoter Valley, provided the essential flat ground for early ranching operations in this arid region. The map reveals the sparse but intentional human presence on the land, anchored by the F Lane Ranch and the isolated Cocklebur Windmill, which served as a critical water source for livestock. This 1980s survey captures the intersection of Arthur, Garden, and Grant counties, preserving the names of family-held lands and geographic features like Stinsman Valley and Doherty Valley that remain central to the area's local history and cattle-rearing identity.
