1954 Map of Gables SE

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Nebraska sandhills of Garfield and Wheeler counties are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage and isolated landmarks in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dominated by the wandering path of Cedar Creek, which carves through the undulating terrain alongside the intermittently flowing Dry Cedar Creek. This environment represents the traditional ranching economy of the Great Plains, where the placement of a single Windmill serves as a critical navigation point and a vital resource for livestock. The map documents the region as it was being developed under the Department of the Interior program for the Missouri River Basin, capturing the sparse but essential human infrastructure required to manage these remote grasslands.
