USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
Sandhills ranching culture and rail-tied settlements define this mid-century portrait of the Cherry Co Brown Co border. The Chicago and North Western railroad forms the spine of activity, anchoring the towns of Wood Lake and Johnstown, where the Woodlawn Cem sits just east of the village. The landscape is a network of sprawling family operations including the McNamara Ranch, Shepard Ranch, and Anderson Ranch, which are connected by unimproved roads and organized around water sources like Plum Creek and the Snake River.
