A County That Has Gone Downhill

This is a survey of population declines in the central Great Plains region of the United States in general and a detailed analysis of spatial variations in depopulation in one county. Population growth bypassed large portions of the central Great Plains during the 1970s. Counties without large central places or access to interstate highways continued to lose population. Examination of conditions in the Republican River valley and in Furnas County Nebraska illustrates how open-country population decline was especially severe in areas of upland terrain. (EXCERPT
