1970 Map of Kearney SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

North Creek meanders through this agricultural landscape in the Missouri River Basin, crossing the boundary between Phelps and Kearney counties. The terrain is defined by the high ground of Cottonwood and Divide, which separate the natural drainage of Anderson Creek and Blaine Creek from the engineered waterways to the south. The presence of an Aqueduct and a Canal near the township of Mirage indicates the sophisticated irrigation and water management systems necessary for Nebraska farming during this era. Numerous small water wells are scattered across the township lines, marking individual homesteads and points of local resource extraction. This 1970 field-checked survey provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the Central Plains, from the precise placement of a Gate to the intersection of township roads and county lines.
