1991 Map of Pine Bluffs SE

About this map

Pine Bluffs provides the defining vertical relief for this tri-state corner, where the High Plains of Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado converge. The landscape is characterized by the stark escarpment of the bluffs themselves, which overlook the drainage of Muddy Creek and Spring Creek to the west. This 1991 inspection, based on earlier 1950s aerial photography, reveals a largely undeveloped ranching and resource territory. The map meticulously records the intersection of multiple county lines, including Laramie and Kimball counties at the state line. An industrial presence is marked by a long Pipeline cutting across the southern sections of the grid. In the central-eastern portion, the name Johnson is applied to a large expanse, likely signifying a significant historic ranching holding or a local land division in the Nebraska panhandle.
