1973 Map of Suttlers Canyon West

About this map

The border between Lincoln Co and Hayes Co divides this rural Nebraska landscape, where the high plains terrain is defined by the incision of Suttlers Canyon. In the northern reaches, Red Willow Creek meanders through the breaks, near where the Lakeview Sch once served the local ranching families. The map illustrates a transitional era in communication, noting a prominent Radio Tower (KWNB) and another unnamed Radio Tower on the western edge. Most of the quadrangle is occupied by the headwaters of Little Blackwood Creek, showing a sparsely populated territory where early land divisions and section lines provide a geometric contrast to the natural drainages of the canyon country.
