1986 Map of Cody Lake SW

About this map

The remote sandhills of central Nebraska are meticulously detailed in this 1980s provisional survey of the boundary between McPherson and Logan Counties. The landscape is defined by the sweeping drainage of Lone Valley, where the subtle topography of the prairie is punctuated only by a few established homesteads. Isolated outposts such as Oliver Ranch and Lair Ranch represent the primary human presence in this region, illustrating the expansive scale of ranching operations required to navigate this portion of the Great Plains. The map's contour lines and numerous small depressions offer a specialized view of the cattle country's water-holding terrain before more modern developments changed the local infrastructure.
