1982 Map of Hagan Lake NE

About this map

Isolated ranching outposts and scattered water sources define this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills during the early 1980s. The landscape is marked by the presence of several established family operations, including Davis Ranch, Lanz Ranch, and Bain Ranch, which illustrate the region's enduring reliance on large-scale grazing. Settlement patterns are sparse, anchored by local community landmarks such as Thurman Cem and the Thurman Sch located near the center of the survey. A few industrial or resource extraction points like Claypit and a site labeled Minnig dot the terrain, while Armstrong Lake and numerous marked wells highlight the critical importance of water management in this semi-arid environment. The transition between Township 29 North and Township 28 North provides a clear framework for researchers tracing historical land boundaries and property locations in Rock County.
