1961 Map of Robb

About this map

The settlement of Robb serves as a lone rail-side landmark in this 1961 survey of Yuma County, updated through the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by the east-west corridor of the Burlington Northern railroad, which parallels Chief Creek as it winds toward the High Plains border. Water management and conservation are central to this section of the Platte River basin, evidenced by the Stalker Lakes State Fishing Area and the Wray State Fish Hatchery. These facilities utilize Stalker Lake and its associated spillway to manage local resources near the North Fork Republican River. A diagonal Pipeline cuts across the northern terrain, illustrating the infrastructure required for transport across these expansive agricultural and ranching lands between the Base Line and the Nebraska state line.
