1985 Map of Cody East

About this map

Cody stands as the primary settlement on this mid-1980s landscape, positioned near the western edge of the Cherry County rangelands. The terrain is defined by the complex topography typical of the Nebraska Sandhills, featuring a dense network of depressions and rises. This survey captures the administrative interface of the northern plains, tracing the South Dakota Nebraska state line and the Rosebud Indian Reservation Boundary. Rural life is anchored by family operations like the Metz Ranch and ABA Ranch, while the Prairie Lawn Cem serves as a significant site for genealogical research. Water resources are sparse but critical, evidenced by Cody Lake, Hay Creek, and a specific Flowing Well located to the east. The map provides a detailed look at the infrastructure of this cattle-ranching region just before the shift into the late 20th century.
