1973 Map of Camp Clarke 3 SE

About this map

Redington and the surrounding rangeland of the Nebraska Panhandle are captured here during the early 1970s. This orthophotomosaic, created from high-altitude aerial photography, provides a clear view of the agricultural transition in Morrill County, where traditional rectangular fields meet the circular patterns of center-pivot irrigation. The water system is anchored by the meandering path of Pumpkin Creek and its tributary Lawrence Fork, which carve through the high plains. In the northern reaches, the terrain breaks into more complex formations near Sand Point, contrasting with the orderly grid of local roads and farmsteads. This document preserves the physical layout of the ranching and farming landscape at a time when modern irrigation technology was beginning to fundamentally reshape the visual character of the Western plains.
