1961 Map of Lamar NE

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Lisbon Valley and the expansive ridges of Macedonia Canby define this stretch of the Nebraska high plains during the early 1960s. Surveyed as part of a development program for the Missouri River Basin, the topography is dominated by the seasonal drainage of Spring Creek, which carves through the central portion of the quadrangle. Human settlement is sparse and concentrated at localized nodes such as Stephenson and McCoy, reflecting the rural agricultural character of the landscape. The political divide of the Perkins Co Chase Co boundary runs horizontally through the center of the sheet, cutting across a terrain of undulating sand hills and basins. This map provides a clear record of the area's fence lines, section boundaries, and remote ranching outposts before the intensification of modern land use in western Nebraska.
