1973 Map of Scotts Bluff 4 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Hogback Mountain dominates the center of this 1973 orthophotoquad, where the rugged terrain of Banner County meets the engineered waterways of the Nebraska panhandle. This specific orthophotomosaic, prepared from aerial photographs taken in May 1973, provides a unique visual record of the land surface as it appeared in the early 1970s. The northern portion of the quadrangle shows the winding course of the Fort Laramie Canal, an essential piece of regional irrigation infrastructure that stands in stark contrast to the natural drainages of the area. To the south, the map captures the path of Pumpkin Creek as it moves through the valley. This imagery-based study reveals the intersection of natural topographic features and the geometric patterns of center-pivot irrigation and agricultural fields that define the high plains economy of the era.
