1960 Map of Mignery Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Beaver Creek meanders through the heart of this Wheeler County landscape, which is defined by the large-scale ranching operations that characterize this portion of the Nebraska sandhills. During the mid-twentieth century, life in this region centered around established homesteads like the Mignery Ranch and Koinzan Ranch. The presence of the Wayside Sch reflects the small, community-based educational infrastructure required for these relatively isolated ranching families. This map illustrates a transition in land use, where revisions from the early 1980s highlight changing woodland cover and fence lines within the traditional grazing territories of the Day Ranch and Headquarters Ranch. The intricate contour lines depict the rolling topography of the hills, emphasizing the relationship between water sources and settlement patterns in an area where stable ranching headquarters were the primary anchors of the local economy.
