1973 Map of Scotts Bluff 4 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Pumpkin Creek meanders through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a distinct valley through the Nebraska plains. This 1973 orthophotoquad utilizes aerial photography taken on May 3 of that year to capture a precise visual record of Banner County land use. The imagery reveals a stark contrast between the intricate drainage patterns of the eroded badlands and the highly organized, rectangular geometry of agricultural fields. Darker strips of cultivation dominate the northern half of the quadrangle, where modern irrigation and farming techniques are evident against the natural topography. This specialized survey provides a clear view of the rural environment before later developments, focusing on the literal texture of the earth as seen through high-altitude cameras.
