1972 Map of Brady NW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Pawnee Springs Ranch sits in the northern reaches of this section of Lincoln County, marking the sparse human footprint on the Nebraska plains during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral path of Pawnee Creek, which winds southward through a terrain marked by thousands of small depressions and sand dunes. This 1972 aerial survey, field-checked the same year, documents a ranching economy where water is the primary concern for land use. Beyond the main ranch, a solitary Well is noted to the west, emphasizing the reliance on groundwater in this arid environment. The map provides a precise record of section lines and fence boundaries, illustrating how the vast Nebraska range was partitioned and managed by local landowners during this era.
