1950 Map of Guernsey Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Emigrant Trail carves through this rugged Platte County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for westward expansion long before the Guernsey Reservoir was impounded. Traces of this historic migration are preserved in markers like the Oregon Trail Marker and the solitary Lucindy Rollins Grave located near the southern bend of the North Platte River. The map captures a transition from pioneer trails to mid-century development, including the Burlington Northern railroad alignment that parallels the water. Settlement is represented by family-held lands such as Frederick Ranch, Wendover Bend Ranch, and Sudbury Ranch. Recreation and public work are evident along the reservoir's fingers, including the Red Cloud Picnic Ground and a site marked CCC Camp (Aband) near Newell Bay, reflecting the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the region.
