THE MOORE RANCH The Moore Ranch is a well-balanced dryland farm, hunting, and cattle operation located 1.5 miles northeast of the scenic town of Crawford, Nebraska. Water for both cattle and wildlife is provided by Squaw Creek, stock wells, and a pipeline system.

The low-lying bottoms produce excellent feed and habitat that will routinely hold deer, turkey, grouse, and doves. The ranch is owner rated at 150 pairs year-round with a county average yield of 36 bushels per acre on dryland wheat, with a portion of the farm ground planted to dryland alfalfa. The native range is heavily sodded with the fences being in good repair. The headquarters boasts a three-bedroom, two-bath home with a partially basement, detached garage, calving barn, and a functional set of corrals. If you are looking for a home base, moderate-sized ranch, or an investment opportunity, the Moore Ranch would be a great asset to any portfolio.

COMMUNITY HISTORY The Nebraska Panhandle is deeply rooted in agriculture with cattle and row crop farming being a main driving force behind the local economy. The Nebraska panhandle is a place where a handshake still means something, and your neighbor is always willing to lend a hand. There is a reason that the state slogan is “Nebraska, The Good Life!”

The Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad reached Fort Robinson in 1886 on its way to Wyoming. Several miles east of the Fort, the railroad passed through a tree claim belonging to William Annin (also spelled “Annon”), who sold his claim for a new townsite. The “tent city” that sprang up around the railroad was named after Lt. Emmet Crawford, who had been formerly stationed at Fort Robinson but was killed in Mexico in January 1886.

Seeking entertainment, the soldiers kept the town supplied with much business during its early years. Crawford was a very wild frontier town, and was home to many saloons and brothels. Calamity Jane came to Crawford from Deadwood, South Dakota with ten dancing girls and set up a tent south of town. Several murders took place in Crawford, most involving soldiers from Fort Robinson.

A second railroad, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, reached Crawford in 1889, providing an additional boost to the community. In 1907 Crawford became a city, and by 1911 Crawford had the seventh-most business volume in Nebraska.

Through the following years, the town had a variety of industries, including a brick works, mica mill, pickle factory, and a Nash Finch Company warehouse. Crawford lobbied for a state normal school, but the state decided to place the school (now Chadron State College) in nearby Chadron. The state thought that Crawford’s proximity to Fort Robinson would not be good for the school’s young women students.

The Elite Theater was established about 1910 in a converted saloon. The theater was owned and operated by Mrs. Georgianna Higgins, thought to be the first woman theater owner in the United States.

NEBRASKA AT A GLANCE Nebraska’s area is just over 77,220 square miles with a population of over 1.9 million. Its capital is Lincoln, and its largest city is Omaha, which is on the Missouri River. Nebraska was admitted into the United States in 1867, two years after the end of the American Civil War. The Nebraska Legislature is unlike any other American legislature in that it is unicameral, and its members are elected without any official reference to political party affiliation.

Nebraska is composed of two major land regions: the Dissected Till Plains and the Great Plains. The Dissected Till Plains region consists of gently rolling hills and contains the state’s largest cities, Omaha and Lincoln. The Great Plains region, occupying most of western Nebraska, is characterized by treeless prairie. Nebraska has two major climatic zones. The eastern two-thirds of the state has a humid continental climate; a unique warmer subtype considered “warm-temperate” exists near the southern plains, which is analogous to that in Kansas and Oklahoma, which have a predominantly humid subtropical climate. The Panhandle and adjacent areas bordering Colorado have a primarily semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk). The state has wide variations between winter and summer temperatures, variations that decrease moving south within the state.

The Moore Ranch is nicely located to be able to enjoy several local, State, and National attractions.

CLIMATE & ELEVATION Elevation on the ranch ranges from 3540’-3780’ above sea level. The average annual rainfall for Crawford is 18” per year and 52” of snow, with an average of 224 sunny days annually. The average high temperature in July is around 88 degrees with a winter low average of 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
