1981 Map of Goose Lake SW

About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills landscape across the Holt Co Wheeler Co line is defined by its subtle drainage patterns and subsurface water resources as they appeared in the early 1980s. The presence of numerous Flowing Wells and individual Flowing Well labels throughout the northern sections suggests a significant reliance on the underlying aquifer for ranching and agricultural operations. Cache Creek meanders through the central terrain, while the southern portion of the quadrangle opens into the broad expanse of Buffalo Flats. Genealogical interest centers on Farmers Hill Cem and Conley Cem, both located near the local high point of Farmers Hill. The map detail includes an extensive network of fence and field lines, updated during the 1986 photorevision process to reflect contemporary land use in this Nebraska cattle country.
