1969 Map of Clinton NE

About this map

Wounded Knee Creek meanders through the drainages of Sheridan County, shaping the landscape of the northern Nebraska panhandle along the border with South Dakota. This 1968 aerial-derived study reveals a sparse ranching and farming environment where the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation Boundary meets the state line. Settlement is concentrated in the southern reaches at West Gordon, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with critical local institutions like Bethel Cem and the Albany Pine Lodge Sch. The terrain, including the upland area of Milan, is characterized by winding creek beds and tributaries such as Wolf Prong, alongside small-scale industrial activity indicated by various Gravel Pits that supported local infrastructure in the late 1960s.
