About this map

Running Water and Nonpareil define the high plains landscape of Box Butte County in this mid-century topographic record. The terrain is characterized by a network of seasonal drainages including the North Branch and South Branch, which converge as they move through the central sections of the quadrangle. The Bureau of Reclamation was actively involved in this region, which was mapped via aerial photographs taken in 1939 and updated with plane-table methods in 1947.
