1970 Map of North Platte West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The confluence of Nebraska's major waterways is captured in this 1970s record, showing the North Platte River and South Platte River converging as they approach North Platte. The city’s expansion northward is evident, with the urban grid pushing toward the riverbanks where landmark institutions like the North Platte Cem and North Platte Country Club were established. Of particular interest to local historians is the Buffalo Bill Ranch State Park, preserving the legacy of William F. Cody near the Union Pacific rail lines that fueled the town's growth as a major transportation hub. The landscape is a mix of heavy industrial presence, such as numerous Gravel Pits, and civic infrastructure including Memorial High Sch and St Patricks Cath Ch, reflecting a community deeply tied to both its river environment and its railroad heritage.
