1951 Map of Herman Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Herman Ranch and other remote outposts like Russel Ranch define this mid-century look at the ranching landscape of Platte County. The North Platte River winds through the northeastern corner, paralleled by the steel of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad. Evidence of the region's deeper history is marked by the Oregon Trail Marker, while the modern era is reflected in the extensive network of Pipe Lines and windmills scattered across the high plains. The drainage systems of Cottonwood Creek and Little Cottonwood Creek carve through the terrain, supporting local agriculture through various Ditches. High points like Pine Ridge and the VABM 5130 Jane survey marker provide orientation in a landscape characterized by its utility and distance, from the Pepper Ranch in the south to the northern river bluffs.
