1948 Map of Box Butte Reservoir East

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Box Butte Dam anchors this post-war landscape, holding the waters of the Niobrara River to form the wide expanse of the Box Butte Reservoir. This 1946 survey, published in 1948, captures the rural character of the Nebraska panhandle as the Bureau of Reclamation infrastructure transformed the local water economy. The high plains terrain is marked by the rugged drainage of Sand Canyon and South Br Sand Canyon to the south, and Cottonwood Creek to the north.
