1979 Map of Potter 2 SW

About this map

The High Plains landscape of the Nebraska panhandle defines this 1970s survey, straddling the Kimball Co and Cheyenne Co boundary. The area is characterized by an extensive Oil Field, with numerous scattered Oil Wells and a central Well marking the energy production of the era. The terrain shows a transition from the flatter uplands down into the rolling drainage patterns common to this part of the state. Cultural development is sparse, with Bethel Cem serving as a significant genealogical marker for the local rural community. This map records the footprint of the mid-century petroleum industry on the agricultural plains before further modern infrastructure expansion.
