1950 Map of Longfellow Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Longfellow Lake and a dense network of water bodies anchor this western Nebraska landscape, where the sand hills are defined by a complex series of family-named valleys. Settlements are sparse, represented by a system of rural educational outposts including School No 22, School No 18, and School No 32. The southwestern corner of the quadrangle is occupied by the Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge, marking a significant conservation footprint in Garden County. The naming conventions of the terrain, such as Scheffenburg Valley, Warneke Valley, and Festerman Valley, suggest a history of early 20th-century homesteading and ranching families who worked this land before 1950. Distinctive features like Dipping Vat Lake point to the area's cattle-raising heritage, while the prevalence of windmills across the valleys highlights the constant need for groundwater management in this environment.
