1970 Map of Buffalo NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Clear Creek defines this section of Johnson County, winding through a landscape dominated by complex drainage systems and early water management infrastructure. Surveyed in 1970, the map shows how local ranchers and settlers harnessed the water supply through engineering works like the Des Moines Ditch and Redman Ditch. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous family-named draws, including Watt Draw, Lawrence Draw, and Healy Draw, which illustrate the traditional nomenclature of the Wyoming cattle country. While the area is primarily agricultural, signs of resource exploration and utility are evident through a marked Prospect near the northern boundary, a Gravel Pit, and a localized Radio Tower. The sparse road network, centered around Route 16, underscores the rural nature of the high plains before further modern development.
