1981 Map of Chambers West

About this map

South Fork Elkhorn River winds through the northern sections of this Holt County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by its hydrology. The eastern edge of the survey focuses on the village of Chambers, where the local Fairground and a nearby Cem indicate a centered community life during the mid-1980s. A defining characteristic of this region is the abundance of groundwater, evidenced by the numerous Flowing Wells and additional wells scattered across the grid. These features highlight the importance of the Ogallala Aquifer to the local agricultural economy. The map also includes detailed photographic revisions of woodland areas and fence lines, offering a precise view of land use and property boundaries in this portion of the Nebraska sandhills region during this period.
