1950 Map of Carr Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The North Fork Dismal River winds through this cattle-country landscape on the border of Grant and Hooker counties. This mid-century survey illustrates the dispersed settlement pattern of the Nebraska Sandhills, where family-run operations like Carr Ranch, E Carr Ranch, and Riemer Ranch are centered near vital water sources. Education and community life were anchored by small, rural landmarks such as Erny Sch and Eclipse Sch, alongside the Eclipse Ch in the southeastern corner. The map also documents numerous windmills and flowing wells necessary for ranching across the Whitman Valley. Notable water bodies such as Carr Lake, Rosebud Lake, and Jefford Lake provide clear markers for genealogists and local historians tracing the exact locations of early twentieth-century homesteads and grazing lands.
