1961 Map of Brandon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Highland terrain characterizes this high plains landscape in western Nebraska as it appeared in the early 1960s. Surveyed as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, the topography is defined by subtle depressions and intermittent drainage patterns that reveal the delicate water management of the region. A primary landmark for local history researchers is School No 7, situated in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a transition period in rural Perkins County, showing the section lines and unimproved roads that connected isolated farmsteads before modern infrastructure further altered the plains. The absence of larger settlements highlights the sparse, agricultural nature of the territory during this era.
