1961 Map of Lamont NE

About this map

Mahoney Dome Oil Field and its surrounding infrastructure anchor this high-plains landscape, where energy extraction meets a complex terrain of shifting Sand Dunes. The map reveals the industrial footprint of the mid-20th century, with a network of pipelines and jeep trails crisscrossing the arid flats. Water remains the critical limiting factor for both industry and ranching, evidenced by the scattered locations of Little Sand Spring, Marsh Reservoir, and the Water Tank near the high point of Mahoney Dome.
