1973 Map of Chase

About this map

Chase and the small locality of Browning anchor this western Nebraska landscape during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a rural environment defined by the intermittent drainage of Sand Draw and Davidson Branch, where water management is critical as evidenced by the numerous marked Well locations and specialized operations like Sandpit. Genealogy and local history researchers will find important markers of 20th-century community life, including the School No 66 and the Chase Cem, which serve as the primary landmarks for this sparsely settled high plains area. The infrastructure of the time is further represented by a Roadside Park, reflecting the era's mid-century highway travel patterns through the Great Plains.
