2012 Map of Sanford

About this map

Pawnee River meanders across this Pawnee County landscape, defining the rural geography of the area surrounding Sanford. The map documents a classic Great Plains agricultural and industrial pattern, where small settlements like Bert Wettar sit amid a grid of local roads and sections. The river's winding course is a primary physical feature, joined by tributaries such as Sawmill Cr and Cocklebur Cr. Modern resource extraction is evident in the southern portion of the quadrangle at the Eddy Oil Field, showing how energy development overlays the traditional farming landscape. Evidence of local infrastructure is noted at the Moffet Bridge crossing, a key point of transit over the river for the surrounding community during this early 21st-century period.
