1973 Map of Scotts Bluff 4 SW

About this map

Harrisburg serves as the central point of interest in this orthophotoquad, which captures the high plains landscape of Banner County through 1973 aerial photography. The imagery reveals a distinctive pattern of agricultural land management, showing large rectangular field plots and strip-cropping techniques designed for soil conservation in this semi-arid environment. The town itself appears as a concentrated grid of streets amidst the broader patchwork of cultivated fields and drainage paths that cut through the terrain. This specialized format provides a clear view of the rural homesteads and access roads as they existed before modern developments, offering a precise visual record of the land surface and human activity in the western reaches of the state.
