About this map

The Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of Garden County, Nebraska, where a dense network of Sandhills lakes creates a unique hydrologic landscape. This 1940s survey illustrates a region where land use was defined by the ranching economy and federal conservation efforts. Prominent cattle operations like the Herman Ranch, McCullock Ranch, and Adams Ranch are documented alongside vital rural infrastructure, including School No 78 and School No 30. The presence of Lookout Tower No 1 and the Mumper Refuge Headquarters highlights the active management of the refuge. Countless named water bodies, from Schoonover Lake to Bluebaker Lake, reveal the intricate topography of the Nebraska Panhandle before modern alterations, making this an essential record for genealogists and environmental historians studying the High Plains.
