1986 Map of George Lake SE

About this map

The Grant County Sandhills appear in their late-twentieth-century state in this 1980s topographical record. The landscape is defined by the complex, undulating dune topography characteristic of the Nebraska cattle country, where vast tracts of open range are managed from isolated outposts. The Lowe Ranch serves as the primary named landmark on this sheet, anchoring a network of unimproved roads and four-wheel-drive trails that navigate the valleys between the high dunes. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the period, depicting the essential water sources and specialized trail networks required for ranching in the high plains. The transition between Townships 22 and 21 North and Ranges 39 and 38 West provides the surveying framework for this remote section of the Nebraska interior.
