1986 Map of Purdum NW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The North Loup River winds diagonally across this Nebraska Sandhills landscape, creating a distinct riparian corridor through the characteristic dune topography of Cherry County. This mid-1980s topographic record shows a region defined by large-scale ranching operations rather than traditional townsites. Family-named outposts like the Melville Ranch and Walking Circle Ranch in the north, and the Louden Ranch near Calf Creek in the south, highlight the sparse but established settlement pattern of the area.
