1979 Map of Kimball 2 NW

About this map

Banner and Kimball Counties meet across this high plains landscape, surveyed in the mid-1970s to document the area's rural development and topography. The map illustrates a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the Nebraska panhandle, featuring the named locations of Linn and Young. This era of mapping highlights the expansion of the energy and resource extraction industries in the region, clearly marked by several Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit scattered across the township lines. The terrain is defined by the natural drainage of Rocky Hollow, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, signaling the infrastructure required to transport the area's subterranean wealth. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of these rural landmarks and the precise delineations of the Range 57 and 58 West boundary lines.
