1973 Map of Wauneta SW

About this map

The Chase Co and Dundy Co border line bisects this agricultural landscape of the Nebraska panhandle, where high plains topography meets the drainage of Muddy Creek. Recorded in the early 1970s, the map reveals a rural pattern of development focused on land utility and community spirit. Central to the local history of the area are Mt Zion Ch and the adjacent Mt Zion Cem, which stand as landmarks for the scattered farming families of the district. Numerous sites labeled simply as Well indicate the critical importance of water access for both irrigation and livestock in this semi-arid region. Fine dashed lines delineate fence and field boundaries, offering genealogists and land historians a precise view of property divisions and land use as they existed before modern industrial farming shifts.
