1972 Map of Horsehead Ranch

About this map

Horsehead Ranch lends its name to this High Plains landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. Situated along the boundary where Morrill Co and Cheyenne Co meet, the terrain is defined by the drainages of Middle Creek and Greenwood Creek, which carve across the northern portion of the quadrangle. A notable concentration of energy infrastructure is evident, with multiple Oil Wells and a prominent Pipeline traversing the open range. Local navigation and commerce are marked by isolated points of interest such as the Radio Tower and the Mayer Landing Strip. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the location of Sanders Cem and small named locales including Walsh and Ickes, offering a precise record of rural settlement patterns and land use in this Nebraska panhandle region.
