1979 Map of Harrison East

About this map

The high plains of Sioux County meet the headwaters of the White River in this detailed survey of the Nebraska panhandle. The village of Harrison serves as the regional anchor, situated at a vital transportation junction where the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor cuts across the landscape. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by the inclusion of St Mary Cem and Harrison Cem, while the northern terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like Pants Butte and the winding Sowbelly canyon. The presence of Skyranch Airport and numerous water points, including West Hat Creek and East Hat Creek, illustrates the balance between modern aviation and the essential livestock ranching economy that sustains this corner of Nebraska.
