1947 Map of Box Butte
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Box Butte Creek meanders through the landscape of the western High Plains, serving as the primary drainage for this area of Box Butte and Running Water. The terrain is characterized by distinctive formations like Wild Horse Butte and the eponymous Box Butte, providing essential landmarks for local navigation. The 1947 survey data, updated with aerial revisions in 1976, illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural region where social life centered around rural education at School No 15 and School No 46. Numerous windmills are marked across the townships, indicating the importance of groundwater for sustaining the cattle ranching and farming operations that define the rural economy in this corner of Nebraska.
