1971 Map of Ogallala SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The South Platte River defines the northern edge of this Nebraska landscape, where the Union Pacific railroad and Interstate 80 parallel the waterway’s course. This corridor represents the modern evolution of a classic western transit route, with the survey capturing the rural character of the high plains in the early 1970s. Further south, the terrain transitions into a series of drainages, most notably Roscoe Draw, which cuts through the upland topography. Human presence is concentrated around essential community landmarks like St Johns Ch and School No 7, while the presence of the Cornelius Landing Strip indicates the importance of private aviation in this agricultural region. The boundary between Keith Co and Perkins Co runs along the southern portion of the map, marking a quiet divide in the open country where gravel extraction and a subsurface Pipeline reflect the area’s utility and infrastructure.
