USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
The North Platte River and South Platte River converge in this late-nineteenth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the arrival of the Union Pacific R. R. and early irrigation efforts. Settled along the rail corridor, the town of Paxton serves as a central hub between the river forks. To the north, the terrain transitions into the sandhills, where isolated outposts like Knights Ranch, Duck Brand Ranch, and Linn Ranch represent the cattle ranching economy of the era.
