1953 Map of The Nipple

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Pumpkin Creek and Willow Creek thread through this high plains landscape along the border of Johnson and Campbell Counties during the early 1950s. The United States Atomic Energy Commission participated in this survey, reflecting the era's interest in western mineral resources. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages like Windmill Draw and Craney Draw, alongside scattered water sources essential for livestock, such as School Section Spring and an Artesian Well. The settlement pattern shows a shift in land use, with both Dobrenz Ranch (Aband) and Wilson Ranch (Aband) noted as abandoned at the time of the field check. Distinctive elevations including The Nipple and triangulation stations like VABM 4966 Cooper serve as primary landmarks in this sparsely populated territory.
