1973 Map of Scotts Bluff 3 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Pumpkin Creek meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, separating the rugged, dissected tablelands to the north from the intensely managed agricultural plots to the south. This 1973 orthophotoquad provides a high-resolution aerial view of the transition between the arid, eroded canyons of the Wildcat Hills region and the burgeoning irrigation systems of the valley floor. The contrast is sharp: the northern half of the map is dominated by natural drainage patterns and shadows cast by dramatic escarpments, while the south reveals the circular geometry of center-pivot irrigation systems and long, rectangular strip-cropping fields. These patterns reflect the mid-century evolution of farming practices in Banner County, where groundwater access transformed the arid plains into a productive agricultural zone along the creek's corridor.
