1946 Map of Box Butte Reservoir West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Niobrara River carves through the High Plains of the Nebraska Panhandle, defining the rugged geography between the township boundaries of Leonard and Lawrence. This mid-century survey captures the landscape at a point of significant hydraulic development, dominated by the western portion of the Box Butte Reservoir. The terrain is characterized by deep erosional features like Sand Canyon and Sand Draw, alongside the upland flats near Quincy. For those researching the rural social fabric of the era, the map identifies local educational landmarks including Sch No 62 and Sch No 50, which served the scattered ranching and farming families across the Dawes Co Box Butte Co line.
