1971 Map of Williams Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The intersection of Garden Co Arthur Co, Keith Co, and Arthur Co Keith Co defines this sparsely settled region of the Nebraska Sandhills. This survey, based on aerial photography from 1969 and field checked in 1971, illustrates the isolated nature of cattle ranching in the High Plains. The landscape is dominated by complex dune formations and depressions, where small family holdings like the Williams Ranch and Orr Ranch are the primary landmarks. Scattered throughout the quadrangle are numerous Well symbols, highlighting the critical importance of groundwater access for livestock in this semi-arid environment. Fine dashed lines delineate fence and field boundaries, providing a detailed record of land use and property management in a territory where traditional roads are few and often unimproved.
