About this map

North Roscoe Valley and Hallet Valley characterize this section of the High Plains in Hodgeman County during the mid-1970s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pawnee River, which is fed by several seasonal tributaries including Plum Creek, Hackberry Creek, and Cottonwood Creek. These watercourses create a dissected terrain that contrasts with the flatter agricultural uplands.

The social and economic heart of this rural area is marked by the Keroma Community Hall, a localized landmark for the surrounding ranching and farming community. Evidence of the region's energy economy is visible through the Oil Field and various Oil Well sites scattered across the southern sections, while a Gravel Pit indicates local resource extraction. The presence of a prominent Pipeline further illustrates the industrial infrastructure supporting the plains economy during this era.
