1965 Map of South Bayard

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Chimney Rock (National Historic Site) dominates the landscape south of the North Platte River, serving as a premier landmark for travelers along the historic Emigrant Trail. This mid-1960s survey captures a Nebraska plains environment defined by its complex irrigation network, including the Chimney Rock Canal, Ninemile Canal, and Alliance and Quincy Canal. These waterways sustain the agricultural land around South Bayard, while the Union Pacific and Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroads facilitate the movement of goods through the valley. Local life is anchored by rural institutions like School No 13 and School No 50, along with the Chimney Rock Cem. To the south, the terrain transitions into the broken bluffs of Bedding Canyon and McManigal Canyon, highlighting the sharp contrast between the fertile river bottom and the high country of Redington.
