1972 Map of Stapleton SW

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Isolated cattle operations and private aviation facilities define this Lincoln County landscape during the early 1970s. The map highlights the sprawling nature of Nebraska ranching, with large family-run estates such as the Horseshoe Bar Ranch and the Hadley Barrett IX Ranch serving as the primary centers of activity. These named ranches, including Sivits Ranch and Melvin Ranch, reflect a heritage of land ownership where individual properties encompass vast sections of the Sandhills. A lone Landing Strip near the center of the quadrangle suggests the importance of light aircraft for navigating and managing these extensive rangelands. Topographical lines reveal the subtle, undulating terrain typical of the region, where water resources and section lines like the boundary between T. 16 N. and T. 15 N. dictate the layout of roads and homesteads.
