1973 Map of Suttlers Canyon East

About this map

Red Willow Creek cuts through the southwest portion of this 1970s landscape, serving as a primary water source for the surrounding drainage basin in south-central Nebraska. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Suttlers Canyon, which provides a clear view of the complex topography along the border of Lincoln County and Hayes County. While much of the area remains open land, the settlement at Marengo and several isolated wells indicate a specialized rural economy dependent on groundwater management. The map also records localized details such as fence and field lines, which were verified through aerial photography and field checks in 1973, offering researchers a granular look at agricultural boundaries and land use patterns during this era.
