1970 Map of Lake Maloney

About this map

The South Platte River corridor south of North Platte serves as the focal point of this 1970s study, where the landscape transitions from river bottomlands to the engineered water systems of the Missouri River Basin project. The Outlet Canal feeds into the expansive Lake Maloney, a central feature defined by Scout Island and Goose Island. This area reflects a mid-century infrastructure landscape, featuring a Powerhouse, Substation, and the North Platte Fish Hatchery alongside established rural institutions.
