About this map

Clinton serves as a focal point along the Chicago and North Western railroad line in this Sheridan County landscape. The mapping, based on 1968 aerial photography, details the intersection of agrarian life and infrastructure in the high plains. Rural education is represented by the Pleasant Hill Sch and Meadow Vale Sch, while the presence of numerous wells indicates the essential reliance on groundwater for the surrounding farmsteads.

Antelope Creek meanders through the terrain, passing north of a Roadside Park situated along highway 20. The map also identifies regional divisions such as Milan, West Gordon, and Wounded Knee, providing a clear view of the land ownership and surveying patterns common in western Nebraska during the late 1960s. This survey is particularly useful for identifying specific ranch and farm locations identified by individual fence and field lines.
