About this map

Spottedtail Creek winds through the southern landscape of this Sioux County region, anchoring a terrain defined by established cattle operations and rural infrastructure in the early 1980s. This survey, compiled from 1975 aerial photography and field-checked in 1981, reveals a network of homesteads such as the Johnson Ranch and Murphy Ranch that dot the high plains. The presence of a major Transmission Line with a mix of Wooden Pole and Steel Tower construction highlights the modernization of utility access across these sprawling sections. From the Star-D Ranch in the north down to the Spear-Diamond Ranch, the map documents the persistent ranching legacy of the Nebraska panhandle, illustrating how water sources and section lines dictated the placement of these remote family-run enterprises.
