About this map

Pawnee River winds through the northern reaches of this Hodgeman County landscape, carving a valley that stands in contrast to the surrounding upland plains. During the late 1960s, this area was defined by a mix of traditional agriculture and a growing petroleum industry, evidenced by the extensive Oil Field and the specific Goebel East Oil Field developments. Small-scale resource extraction is visible through localized features such as a Quarry and Sandpit, while an underground Pipeline cuts across the terrain to transport the region's energy output. The presence of numerous Drill Holes reflects active exploration during this period. Away from the river, drainage is managed by seasonal waterways like Cottonwood Creek and the aptly named Dry Creek, which help define the contours of the Valley and Center townships.
