1955 Map of Overland

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Overland Trail cuts through this high plains landscape, echoing the path of 19th-century westward migration across Overland Flats. By the mid-1950s, the terrain was a workspace for the Union Pacific railroad and localized ranching operations like Eatons Ranch and Byers Ranch. The North Platte River defines the southern reach, fed by an intricate system of irrigation including the Nichols-Scribner Ditch and McPhail Ditch.
