1972 Map of North Platte 2 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills terrain dominates this 1970s survey of the rural landscape south of the North Platte River. Characterized by a complex network of dunes and depressions, the area exhibits the subtle topographical variations of Range 31 and 32 West. While mostly open country, the tiny settlement of McNeel sits as a localized landmark within the sectioned grazing land. The map provides a meticulous record of section lines and range boundaries, such as the dividing line between Township 15 and 16 North, which were essential for land management and cattle ranching in Lincoln County during this era. This specific survey captures the region just as modern photogrammetric mapping techniques were becoming the standard for documenting the remote interior of the Great Plains.
