1970 Map of Maxwell NE

About this map

Nebraska's Sandhills terrain dominates this mid-century topographic study, showing a landscape defined by intricate contour patterns and minimal human infrastructure. The area is divided into large precincts including Hall, Cox, and Maxwell, reflecting the rural township structure of Lincoln County during the early 1970s. Aside from the section lines and a few light-duty roads, the most prominent man-made landmark is a Radio Tower located in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This map was produced as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, documenting the elevation and drainage patterns of this sparsely populated prairie region before modern industrial or agricultural shifts altered the local geography.
