1979 Map of North Of Oliver Reservoir

About this map

The High Plains of Kimball County, Nebraska, are defined here by a pattern of energy extraction and remote ranching infrastructure in the late 1970s. This survey records a landscape transition from traditional agriculture toward intensive subterranean development, evidenced by numerous Oil Well and Oil Wells sites dotting the terrain. The presence of a major Pipeline cutting through the southern half of the quadrangle highlights the area's role as a transit corridor for regional resources. The local ranching heritage is anchored by Tomich in the southwest, while a solitary Radio Tower stands as a prominent navigational landmark amidst the undulating contours. These features together illustrate the economic character of a region where oil production and rural land use intersect in the Nebraska Panhandle.
