1972 Map of Stapleton SE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Garfield Table dominates the northern landscape of this Lincoln County quadrangle, showing the distinct upland topography of the Nebraska Sandhills during the early 1970s. The region is sparsely settled, defined by isolated operations such as the Nowak Ranch and Stewart Ranch, reflecting the enduring ranching economy of the plains. A small cluster of human history is preserved at the site of Myrtle, where the Myrtle Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark for researchers tracing early families in this portion of the state. Numerous well sites are mapped across the terrain, indicating the critical importance of groundwater management for livestock and habitation in this high tableland environment. The map captures the specialized land use patterns required to sustain life in a territory where water sources and family ranch holdings are the primary geographic anchors.
