1972 Map of Mud Springs SE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

An Abandoned Ammunition Depot dominates the southern half of this Cheyenne County landscape, its sprawling grid of roads and former storage structures creating a sharp geometric contrast to the natural drainages of the High Plains. This military infrastructure suggests a significant mid-century footprint in a region otherwise dedicated to ranching and resource extraction. Farther north, the winding course of Rush Creek cuts through the terrain, flanked by an active Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells. The community life of this rural area is anchored by several landmarks, including Salem Cem and local educational sites such as Center Sch and Bunker Hill Sch near Bunker Hill. This map captures a specific moment in the 1970s when the legacy of wartime logistics and the ongoing energy industry coexisted within the agricultural fabric of western Nebraska.
