1951 Map of Bull Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The North Loup River meanders across this mid-century Sandhills landscape, carving a distinct path through a region defined by its reliance on remote ranching outposts and localized schools. Established family operations like Sears Ranch, Kidder Ranch, and McCloud Ranch anchor the terrain, interspersed with essential community landmarks such as Long Cem and several rural schoolhouses, including School No 113 and Wells Sch. The survey reveals a complex hydrological network where valleys like Wamad uze Valley and Dry Valley sit alongside numerous alkaline ponds and shallow basins such as Alkali Pond, Packingham Lake, and Stout Lake. This 1951 record documents the fragile balance of water and land in Cherry County, illustrating the isolation and specialized land use of the Nebraska ranching interior before the modernization of rural infrastructure.
