1969 Map of Whiteclay SW

About this map

Metcalf State Wildlife Management Area dominates the central portion of this Sheridan County landscape, where the broken terrain of the Beaver Wall escarpment drops toward the drainage of Beaver Creek. The topography reflects the transitional nature of the Nebraska Panhandle, moving from the dissected uplands near Bomar Hill in the northeast to the more open valleys of the south. This late 1960s survey documents the rural character of the region, showing the winding course of Hay Springs Creek and White Clay Creek. For the local historian or genealogist, the map preserves specific cultural markers such as the Episcopal Cem and a smaller Cem located near the eastern boundary, alongside utilitarian features like the Gravel Pit that supported local road infrastructure during this period of development in the Missouri River Basin.
