1982 Map of Goldman Lake NE

About this map

The Calamus River winds through this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, defining the landscape between the townships of T 26 N and T 25 N. This 1982 survey, based on aerial photography from 1973, reveals a sparsely populated ranching region where large landholdings like Beale Ranch and Gracey Ranch dominate the terrain. The presence of the Calamus Sch and the Cornish Cem underscores the long-standing community centers that supported isolated families in this river valley. To the southwest, a small Claypit indicates local resource extraction, providing a contrast to the primarily agricultural use of the land. The map illustrates a network of unimproved roads and trails that connected these remote homesteads to one another and the river before modern infrastructure reached this corner of Brown County.
