1973 Map of Potter 2 NE

About this map

The Lawrence Fork drainage system dominates this mid-1970s orthophotomosaic of western Nebraska. This specific sheet provides a high-contrast visual record of the land use patterns that define the region, showing a sharp divide between the untamed, eroded breaks of the creek valley and the rigid geometry of surrounding agricultural fields. The intricate drainage network of the Lawrence Fork carves through the landscape, revealing the complex topography of the high plains that is often obscured on standard line-drawn maps. This aerial perspective, captured in May 1973, preserves the exact footprint of dryland farming and grazing boundaries before modern irrigation or development could alter the historic section lines.
