1963 Map of University Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The High Plains of Sioux County, Nebraska, are defined here by a network of ranching outposts and vital water management infrastructure. University Lake serves as a central landmark in this 1960s landscape, situated just north of the Interstate Canal and the Main Interstate Canal. These engineering features reflect the era's focus on irrigation and land development in the Missouri River Basin. The terrain is marked by distinctive formations like the Horseshoe and the Hat, while local water sources are meticulously documented through named wells such as Samson Well and Claypit Well. Settled life is represented by several legacy operations, including the Point Option Ranch, F-X Ranch, and Wind Springs Ranch. In the north, the winding course of Spottedtail Creek cuts through the high country, providing a natural contrast to the straight-line precision of the canals and the surrounding township boundaries of Fanning and Funston.
