1961 Map of Brandon NE

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The rolling tablelands of western Nebraska are captured here during the early 1960s, reflecting a landscape defined by expansive high plains topography and precise section-line divisions. This part of Perkins County, mapped as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, showcases the characteristic terrain of Highland and the Eckeryo region. The sheet reveals a network of light-duty and unimproved dirt roads that follow the rigid township and range grid, illustrating how early 20th-century land management shaped the rural geography of the Great Plains. The map is primarily a study of elevation and drainage patterns, with numerous depressions and localized rises typical of the sandhills-adjacent prairie, providing a clear record of the area's physical state before modern agricultural intensification or infrastructure changes altered the surface features.
