1971 Map of Brule NW

About this map

Deep-cut drainage systems define this high plains landscape in Keith County, where Brule Canyon and Chase Canyon converge toward the south. The 1971 survey shows a sparsely populated ranching or farming region marked by a network of unimproved roads and fine dashed lines indicating field and fence boundaries. A single center of local community activity is represented by School No 46, situated on the plateau between major canyon systems. Other notable geographic features include Eagle Canyon, Coyote Canyon, and Ash Camp Canyon, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of water management in this arid environment is limited to isolated features like a Well located in the western portion of the quadrangle. The topography reflects the complex erosional patterns typical of the Nebraska panhandle region during this era.
