1979 Map of Head Of Rocky Hollow

About this map

Rocky Hollow defines the central terrain of this Western Nebraska landscape, where the high plains of the Panhandle meet the drainage systems of the High Plains. This 1970s survey captures a transition point in rural land use, documenting small outposts like Young and Linn situated amidst a growing infrastructure of energy and industry. The presence of numerous Oil Wells and a major Pipeline cutting across the southwestern quadrant indicates the region's mid-century development as a petroleum-producing area. Straddling the boundary between Banner Co and Kimball Co, the map reveals a sparsely populated but active environment, including a Gravel Pit and scattered wells that support the local ranching and industrial economy during this era of agricultural modernization.
