1971 Map of Wray NE

About this map

The high plains along the Colorado-Nebraska border define this 1971 landscape, where the primary human footprint is found at the Ceres Ranch. The terrain is characterized by undulating topography and a significant reliance on groundwater, indicated by the numerous wells scattered across the township sections. This area serves as a physical meeting point for Yuma County and Dundy County, marking the intersection of two states and two distinct local jurisdictions. Industrial activity in this rural expanse is limited, though a Gravel Pit and surveyed markers like BM 3599 suggest the infrastructure and resource management of the early 1970s. The map illustrates a sparse, ranch-oriented settlement pattern typical of the eastern plains during this era.
