1981 Map of Carson Lake

About this map

Taylor Ranch and Noyes Ranch anchor this landscape in the early 1980s, illustrating the sparse ranching settlement pattern characteristic of this portion of Garfield County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Cedar Creek and the seasonally variable waters of Carson Lake. A significant geological feature, Garska Meadow, sits along the southern boundary, providing a distinct break in the local topography. This map highlights the intersection of several county lines, including the borders with Rock, Holt, and Loup counties, marking it as a critical survey point for understanding the rural boundaries and large-scale land holdings in north-central Nebraska during this era.
