1989 Map of Lowe Valley

About this map

Lowe Valley and Hospital Valley define the undulating sandhill landscape of this 1980s topographic survey along the Nebraska border. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching territory where the Sheridan Co and Cherry Co line cuts through the drainages. Permanent water features like Granning Lake serve as vital landmarks in a terrain characterized by complex contour patterns and isolated outposts. Notable human activity is centered on the Andrick Ranch and Becker Field, showing the infrastructure required to manage these remote northern Nebraska range lands during the late twentieth century.
