1972 Map of Green Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Birdwood Creek and its western forks dominate this western Nebraska landscape, carving through the sand hills of Lincoln County. The map reveals a specialized ranching economy in the early 1970s, where large family operations like Richardson Ranch, Green Ranch, and Fleecs Ranch define the settlement pattern. Remote and largely roadless, the area relies on private infrastructure such as the Green Landing Strip and widely spaced wells. Educational needs for these isolated homesteads were served by the Birdwood School No 36, a vital local landmark for genealogists researching rural school districts. The terrain is characterized by complex contouring and numerous springs, such as the Spring near the confluence of N Fk Birdwood Cr, illustrating the vital water management required for high-plains cattle ranching.
