1979 Map of Kimball 2 NE

About this map

The high plains along the Banner Co Kimball Co border reflect an era of intensive energy extraction in the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by a sparse but systematic industrial network, where numerous Oil Wells and a central Oil Field are connected by unimproved roads across the rolling terrain. Outside of these petroleum operations, the topography is carved by the significant drainage of Rocky Hollow, which winds across the quadrangle. Other human footprints include a prominent Radio Tower in the northeast and a point labeled Badger, while scattered Gravel Pits suggest local material sourcing for the road network. This survey captures a moment when the rural economy of Western Nebraska was deeply integrated with the subsurface mineral wealth of the Denver-Julesburg Basin.
