1972 Map of Point Of Rocks

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Point of Rocks stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the valley where early transportation corridors converge in Cheyenne County. During the early 1970s, the historic Union Pacific railroad and the modern Interstate 80 corridor follow the natural path of Lodgepole Creek, illustrating how the region's topography dictated Nebraska’s east-west movement for generations. The landscape transition is evident as the creek valley gives way to the southern Sand Draw and higher plateau elevations. Local infrastructure includes several Gravel Pit sites and a major transcontinental Pipeline, while small-scale agricultural presence is noted by family-named locations such as Meyer and James. This survey documents a critical slice of the High Plains where industrial transit and ranching intersect.
