1972 Map of North Of Hershey

About this map

Sandhills terrain dominates this corner of Lincoln County, characterized by a complex network of dunes and depressions typical of the Nebraska prairie. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals a landscape defined by natural topography rather than human development, centered around the intersection of Township 16 North and Township 15 North. The absence of named settlements, roads, or structures on this specific sheet highlights the rural isolation and purely agricultural character of the region during this era. Land use is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with the boundary between Range 32 West and Range 31 West marking the primary north-south divide. This survey provides a baseline of the mid-century Nebraska landscape before contemporary changes in land management or irrigation practices altered the surface profile of the hills.
