1956 Map of Jeffrey Reservoir SW

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Jeffrey Queen Sch and Dempcy Sch serve as the primary landmarks in this mid-century view of southwestern Lincoln County, where the high plains are deeply dissected by a network of steep drainages. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrasts between plateau tops like Cottonwood and the numerous named ravines that channel water toward the south and east. Major systems such as Snell Canyon and Conroy Canyon give way to the winding courses of Fox Creek and Deer Creek, illustrating the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the Nebraska loess hills. The map highlights the sparse, rural infrastructure of the 1950s, focused around small schoolhouses and seasonal watercourses like East Fork Dry Creek and Dempcy Draw. This survey provides a precise record of the topography and land-use patterns before later shifts in agricultural technology and rural school consolidation changed the local geography.
