1970 Map of Quick

About this map

Hugh Butler Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Frontier County survey, its rising waters filling the deep drainage basins that define this portion of the Nebraska plains. The settlement of Quick serves as a central point in an area otherwise characterized by a sparse grid of section lines and unimproved roads. The distribution of Garden Prairie Ch and local education sites like School No 101 and School No 91 reveals a community structure built around small rural hubs during the early 1970s. The terrain is intricately dissected by Spring Creek and its many unnamed tributaries, showing the sharp erosion patterns typical of the Loess Hills. Further east, the descent into Bee Canyon marks the edge of this dissected upland, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and land-use patterns of the region before further modern development.
