1977 Map of Center East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Center, the county seat of Knox County, sits in the northwestern corner of this 1977 orthophoto study, providing a clear visual record of the Nebraska landscape just before the turn of the decade. Produced in cooperation with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, this map uses aerial photography to detail the intricate drainage patterns of Brazile Creek as it winds through the agricultural patchwork. The high-altitude imagery distinguishes between the traditional rectangular field plots and the distinct circular patterns of center-pivot irrigation, reflecting a period of technological transition in Great Plains farming. This visual survey is particularly valuable for researchers tracing land-use history and the physical footprint of the small settlement during the late 1970s.
