1985 Map of Powderhorn Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Samuel R McKelvie National Forest dominates this landscape in Cherry County, Nebraska, as it appeared in the mid-1980s. The topography is defined by the unique sandhills environment, where sweeping depressions like Chamberlain Valley and Powderhorn Valley cut through the terrain. Human presence is sparse, centered on the Powderhorn Ranch, reflecting the region's enduring ranching heritage. Water is a critical but localized resource, found at Steer Creek in the north and the clustered Lord Lakes. These natural features, alongside landmarks like Eagle Point and Tombstone Valley, reveal the remote character of this Nebraska cattle country before modern developments altered the rural infrastructure of the High Plains.
