1972 Map of Logan

About this map

The South Loup River winds through the northeast corner of this Nebraska landscape, paralleled by the steel of the Union Pacific railroad. This 1970s survey captures the area as a network of rural homesteads and isolated landmarks, including the small settlement of Logan near the northern boundary and Beckwith to the south. The terrain is marked by the prominence of Kings Hill, while numerous wells across the quadrangle indicate the critical importance of water access for the local agricultural economy. In the southern reaches, Sand Creek cuts through the topography, passing near a Quarry and the Garfield Ch. The map also meticulously records political boundaries, showing where the borders of Logan, Custer, and Lincoln Counties converge.
