1985 Map of Ringgold

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The small community of Ringgold and its surrounding cattle country define this mid-1980s landscape in McPherson County. Based on 1982 aerial photography, the survey reveals a ranching-dependent economy where large family holdings are the primary landmarks. From the J Miller Ranch in the north down to the Kugler Ranch in the southeast, these named properties show the enduring structure of Nebraska's Sandhills ranching tradition. The presence of a Cem near the center of the sheet suggests an earlier locus of settlement or family burial grounds, while the scattering of windmills and small water bodies like Lake Ranch point to the critical role of groundwater in this environment. The sparse road network and lack of dense town centers illustrate the characteristic isolation of the region during the late twentieth century.
