1974 Map of Hayes Center SW

About this map

Blackwood Creek defines the eastern portion of this Hayes County landscape, cutting a deep drainage pattern through the Nebraska plains. This 1974 survey highlights the remote and functional nature of the land during the mid-1970s, where the terrain is marked primarily by scattered infrastructure such as the numerous sites labeled Well. These features, along with the intricate contouring of the uplands, illustrate a region focused on resource management and agricultural necessity. The map provides a precise record of section lines and field boundaries as they existed shortly after the area was mapped by photogrammetric methods in 1973, capturing the rural character of this corner of the state before modern developments or changes in land use occurred.
