1978 Map of Node

About this map

Node serves as the central hub of this eastern Wyoming landscape, situated along the Chicago and North Western railroad line. The settlement's infrastructure is tightly coupled with the rail corridor, which cuts diagonally across the high plains. Water sources like Duck Creek, Silver Springs Creek, and the Niobrara River define the local drainage patterns, while the distinctive Chimney Rock stands as a prominent natural landmark in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Outside the immediate vicinity of the town and its local Cem, the map reveals a sparsely populated ranching environment marked by an extensive Pipeline network and numerous wells, reflecting the region's 1970s land use and resource management. The grid of section lines and fence markers provides a clear view of the rural property divisions that have long shaped Niobrara County.
