1972 Map of Kimball SE

About this map

Sidney Draw cuts through this high plains landscape at the intersection of Kimball, Weld, and Logan counties, marking the tri-point border where Nebraska and Colorado meet. In the early 1970s, this region was defined by energy extraction and infrastructure, evidenced by an extensive Oil and Gas Field and a dense network of pipelines crossing the state line. The survey captures the industrial footprint of the era, recording numerous oil wells and a Caliche Pit alongside essential navigation markers like a Radio Tower. This map provides a detailed record of the resource-based economy in the Nebraska Panhandle, showing how land use and boundary lines converged in a sparsely settled but highly utilized corner of the Great Plains.
