1986 Map of Crescent Lake SE

About this map

Richstein Ranch anchors this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape defined by the winding course of Blue Creek. The terrain transitions from the broad level of Dogtown Flats in the northwest to the more defined drainage of Antelope Valley in the south. This 1980s-era documentation reflects a working cattle-ranching environment, where isolated infrastructure like scattered wells and specialized Feed Lots are essential for supporting livestock in this semi-arid region. The presence of a Spring along the creek bank underscores the vital role of natural water sources in an otherwise dry prairie. The map provides a clear look at the large-scale land management patterns and section lines characteristic of Garden County rangeland during the late twentieth century.
