1956 Map of Wellfleet NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The branching drainage networks of south-central Lincoln County define this 1956 landscape, where deep erosional features like Box Elder Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon carve through the high plains. The map illustrates a rural Nebraska environment largely shaped by these natural watercourses and the cattle-grazing townships of Payne, Box Elder, and Cottonwood. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by isolated homesteads and the Upper Box Elder Sch, which served as a focal point for the local ranching community during the mid-20th century.
