1978 Map of Harrison West

About this map

Harrison serves as the focal point of this Sioux County landscape, situated at the junction of the Chicago and North Western railroad and local thoroughfares. This high-plains region in the late 1970s shows a clear transition from the structured street grid of the town to the expansive rangeland surrounding it. Notable civic and local landmarks include the County Fairground and Skyranch Airport on the eastern edge of the settlement, while the Cem south of town provides a point of interest for genealogical research. To the north, the terrain grows more complex around Monroe Canyon and the Gilbert Baker State Wildlife Management Area, offering a contrast to the flatter sections near the Niobrara River in the south. Smaller, more isolated points like Tipton indicate the dispersed nature of settlement in this part of western Nebraska.
