1973 Map of Scotts Bluff 3 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Willow Creek meanders through a landscape of intense agricultural development in Banner County, Nebraska, as seen in this 1973 orthophotomosaic. The map reveals the striking geometry of mid-century farming, characterized by circular irrigation patterns and long, narrow strip-cropping fields that dominate the northern half of the quadrangle. This aerial perspective, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey using 1:80,000-scale photography, provides an unfiltered look at the intersection of high-plains agriculture and natural landforms. In the southwestern section, the terrain shifts abruptly from the flattened, tilled tableland to the more broken, textured landscape around Gabe Rock. This transition highlights the physical geography that local ranchers and farmers negotiated during the early 1970s, before modern mapping technology standardized the representation of these rural stretches.
