1950 Map of Lakeside

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad corridor serves as the primary artery through this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, connecting the small settlements of Lakeside and Ellsworth. This 1950 survey reveals a landscape defined by an extensive network of large family-run operations, including the John Cody Ranch, Star Ranch, Joy Ranch, and Coopers Ranch. The topography is characterized by a high density of natural depressions filled by named water bodies such as White Lake, Snow Lake, and Patton Lake, which are essential for the region's cattle-ranching economy. Along the southern edge, the map identifies the Sheridan Co Garden Co line, illustrating the administrative boundaries of these remote ranching districts. Local history and genealogy are highlighted by features like the small Cem near the tracks, which provides a tangible connection to the early families who settled this distinctive terrain.
