1985 Map of Rose

About this map

Calamus River and the Elkhorn River headwaters define the hydrography of this high plains region, where vast networks of lakes and wetlands dot the Sandhills landscape. The small rural settlements of Raven, Duff, and Rose anchor the sparse interior, connected by the north-south corridor of US Highway 183. This planimetric survey reveals a land organized by ranching and water management, featuring notable basins like Pony Lake, Goose Lake, and Wolf Lake. Landforms such as Paramount Valley and Gracie Flats represent the distinct topographic depressions common to North Central Nebraska. The map is a meticulous record of section lines and county boundaries, documenting the intersection of Rock, Brown, Holt, Loup, and Garfield counties during the mid-1980s.
