1986 Map of Cowboy Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The high plains of Morrill County are defined here by the shifting geography of the Nebraska Sandhills, where the landscape is dominated by large expanses of Sand. At the heart of this region is the landmark summit of Cowboy Hill, which provides a focal point for the surrounding cattle country. This 1986 provisional edition captures the isolated ranching life of the late 20th century, specifically marking the Shanklin Ranch in the northeast and Boyer Ranch to the southeast. The industrial presence of the Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, serving as a critical transport link for this sparsely populated portion of the panhandle. The map's detail includes numerous bench marks and survey points, tracking the subtle elevation changes across the township line of T 23 N T 22 N.
