1973 Map of Wild Horse Spring

About this map

Wild Horse Spring serves as a historical focal point in this portion of Perkins County, which is defined by the undulating topography of the High Plains. The landscape is marked by numerous Wells and depressions typical of the region's cattle-ranching and agricultural character. North of the small settlement area of Grant, the map reveals a sparsely populated section of the Nebraska panhandle where education and community were centered at places like the Trinity Sch. Modern infrastructure is represented by a local Golf Course and a Radio Tower, while the drainage of Roscoe Draw cuts through the northern sections of the map. Fine dashed lines across the terrain provide a rare recorded look at fence and field boundaries as they existed during the early 1970s, illustrating the partition of the open range.
