About this map

Ogalalla and the surrounding Platte Valley are defined by the convergence of major 19th-century transit corridors and early irrigation infrastructure. The Union Pacific R. R. follows the path of the South Platte River through Brule, while traces of the Old California Trail pass landmarks like California Hill. This landscape is transitioning into a cattle and agricultural hub, evidenced by numerous private holdings such as Kingsley's Ranch and Mannon's Ranch.
