1983 Map of Meadow SE

About this map

Grand River Nat Grassland covers the northeastern portion of this Perkins County landscape, representing a significant area of public land management during the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Black Horse Butte Creek and Darling Creek, which drain the open prairie. Transportation in this era was anchored by the Athboy Road, cutting a straight line across the center of the sheet and connecting isolated ranching interests. The map documents the rural boundary line between Perkins Co and Corson Co, providing a clear record of land division and topographical detail at a 5-meter contour interval. This survey illustrates the sparse, ranch-oriented settlement patterns characteristic of the High Plains before modern developments further altered the landscape.
