1950 Map of Velma

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills ranching culture is well-defined across this mid-century survey of the Velma area, where three counties—Grant, Arthur, and Garden—converge. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of valley systems, including Voss Valley, Cranford Valley, and Benscoter Valley, which dictate the placement of the region’s expansive cattle operations. Named family holdings like the Beekins Ranch, Rothwell Ranch, and Starkey Ranch are prominent features, illustrating the generational land use that defined this part of the state following World War II.
