1967 Map of Plains NE

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Wildhorse Lake sits at the southern edge of this High Plains landscape, which is marked by the straight-line boundaries of Copeland, Montezuma, and Mertilla townships. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain reveals a transition from the agricultural tablelands of the north down toward Spring Cr in the south. The intersection of Gray and Meade Counties bisects the northern half of the quadrangle, where a small Gravel Pit indicates local land use and resource extraction. The area’s genealogical record is anchored by the Mertilla Cem, a quiet landmark in the southern reaches of the township. Numerous wells are scattered across the section lines, reflecting the critical importance of water access for the farms and homesteads of this prairie region during the mid-20th century.
