1989 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

Ellsworth serves as the primary focal point of this Nebraska Sandhills landscape, situated along a prominent east-west transportation corridor. The map details a sparsely populated ranching region where life centered around the Po and the local schoolhouse, Sch No 119. This 1989 provisional survey reveals a terrain defined by hundreds of small depressions and an intricate network of lakes, including the large Black Lake to the north and Reid Lake further south. The boundary between Sheridan Co and Garden Co runs through the lower portion of the quadrangle, crossing through the vicinity of Carey Lake. This document is particularly valuable for tracing the placement of rural infrastructure like 3 Tracks and the numerous named water bodies such as Shubert Lake and Merritt Lake that characterize this specific section of the Great Plains.
