1973 Map of Haigler NW

About this map

Buffalo Creek winds through the southwestern corner of this Dundy County landscape, marked by a notable Spillway that points to the managed water resources of this plains environment in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a complex network of depressions and contours typical of the Nebraska panhandle, where land use is split between wide-open ranching and isolated infrastructure. Transportation and utility features like the Harford Landing Field and a northern Substation illustrate the area's modernization, while the small settlement at Sharp and various scattered wells reflect the sparse but persistent human footprint on the land. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of natural drainage patterns and the technical improvements made to support local aviation and agriculture.
