1983 Map of Valentine North

About this map

Valentine State Fish Hatchery and its accompanying Fish Hatchery Lake sit at the mouth of Government Canyon, marking a landscape where the Sandhills transition into the valley of Minnechadusa Creek. This 1983 survey captures the northern outskirts of Valentine, Nebraska, and the borderlands along the Rosebud Indian Reservation and South Dakota state line. The town's social infrastructure is well-defined by the County Hospital, High School, and St Nicholas Ch, while the C & NW railroad line cuts through the southwest corner of the sheet near Mill Pond. Rural life in the surrounding uplands is anchored by the New Harmony Sch and the Richland Harmony Cem, illustrating the settlement patterns of north-central Nebraska during the late twentieth century. To the east, the map reaches into the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge, featuring landmarks like Frederick Peak and Spring Creek.
