1969 Map of Chadron NE

About this map

The White River flows through the northern reaches of this landscape, carving a path through the Nebraska borderlands near the South Dakota line. This 1969 survey captures the rugged breaks of East Chadron and Beaver, where the topography shifts from river bottomlands to complex ridgelines. The southeastern corner of the map reveals a pocket of community life centered around the Beaver Creek drainage, featuring the Friends Ch and the Beaver Valley Cem. Significant for local historians, the map also identifies Limekiln in the northeast, suggesting early industrial activity or geological landmarks in a territory otherwise defined by its intricate drainage networks and wide-open rangeland. Boundary lines for Dawes and Shannon counties intersect here, reflecting the administrative divisions of the high plains during the late 1960s.
