About this map

The Sand Hills of central Nebraska dominate this mid-century landscape, characterized by a complex network of ranching outposts and remote schoolhouses. Along the southern corridor, the North Platte River and South Platte River converge at North Platte, a vital hub for the Union Pacific railroad. The era's focus on water management and irrigation is evident in the sprawling Lake C W McConaughy and the intricate Sutherland Canal system that feeds the Sutherland Reservoir.
