1965 Map of Broadwater NE

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lower Dugout Creek cuts through the southern reaches of this landscape, a critical water source in the arid cattle country of Morrill County. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of Reilly Hill in the northwest and the depression of Storm Lake to the northeast, illustrating the wind-sculpted topography of the Nebraska Sandhills. This 1965 survey reveals a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the Missouri River Basin development era, where land use was dominated by large-scale ranching. Distinctive landmarks like the Broadwater and Eastwood areas provide geographic context for the region's historical grazing lands, while a scattered Spring indicates the vital, if rare, natural water points that dictated the placement of early fences and range improvements.
