1966 Map of Goodland NE

About this map

Shermanville and Voltaire townships define the northern half of this Sherman County landscape, characterized by the wide drainage basins typical of the High Plains. The terrain is shaped by the eastward flow of the Middle Fork Sappa Creek, which meanders through the southern portions of Washington and Union townships. This 1966 field-checked survey provides a precise look at the rural section lines and agricultural land divisions during a period of steady mid-century farming. In the far northwestern corner, the upper reaches of Beaver Creek cut across the boundary, indicating the subtle topographic shifts that dictate water movement across these vast townships. The map is a clean record of the area's transition between the High Plains and the beginning of the Sappa Creek drainage system.
