1979 Map of Potter 2 SE

About this map

The rolling plains of western Nebraska in the late 1970s appear as a landscape defined by natural resource extraction and scattered rural landmarks. An expansive Oil Field dominates the central terrain, characterized by a dense network of Oil Wells and maintenance tracks. Evidence of the area's pioneer heritage persists at the Swedish Cem near the eastern boundary, serving as a vital touchstone for genealogical research in this part of Cheyenne County. The map details the rural character of the region near Jacobson, where the section lines of the Public Land Survey System organize the territory into a precise grid of sections and ranges. Industrial activity is further evidenced by a localized Gravel Pit, showing how the land was being utilized for both energy and material production during this period.
