1966 Map of Chadron 3 SE

About this map

Antelope and the high plains of the Dawes and Sheridan County line define this portion of the Nebraska panhandle as it was surveyed in the mid-1960s. The landscape is marked by the deep incision of Sand Canyon and the transition into West Mirage and Hay Springs, reflecting a region of sparse settlement centered on rural education and local cemeteries. Genealogists may find particular value in the locations of the Antelope Valley Cem, which serves as a landmark in the northern reaches, and rural institutions like New Home Sch and Chimney Butte Sch. The presence of a Gravel Pit and the rugged terrain of the Craig area illustrate the practical land use and topographical challenges facing residents in this corner of the state during the Missouri River Basin development era.
