1971 Map of Old Baldy

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Old Baldy rises above a landscape defined by the intricate sandhills of the Nebraska panhandle, where the high plains transition between Garden and Keith counties. This early 1970s survey captures a sparsely populated ranching region where water sources are the primary landmarks, evidenced by the numerous Well sites and the winding course of Ash Creek in the southwest. Cultural markers are few but significant for local history, including the Fairview Cem and a small Gravel Pit that suggests local infrastructure maintenance. The map illustrates the specialized land use of the era, where seasonal Spring flows and carefully managed groundwater supported the region's cattle-grazing economy amidst the characteristic blowout dunes and depressions of the sandhills.
