'''Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park''', also known as '''Scout's Rest Ranch''', is a living history [[List of Nebraska state parks|state park]] located west of [[North Platte, Nebraska|North Platte]], [[Nebraska]].


The property includes a home owned by [[Buffalo Bill]], as well as many other historical exhibits. The park can be found along [[U.S. Route 30]] two miles west of North Platte.
'''Leuphana''' (Λευφάνα)is a city name, first mentioned by Ptolemy in the year 150 in the Atlas Geographia.


It includes a [[Second Empire (architecture)|Second Empire]]–style mansion built in 1886. It was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1978.<ref name=nris/>

After Günnewig, Leuphana is located on the lowest stretch of the [[Elbe]]. People don't know, however, which side of the Elbe.

Ptolemy possibly made a mistake, as well about Grässe. He could have confused it with [[Levefanum]], that was located on the left side of the [[Rhein]]. Because Ptolemy had demonstrably identified poleis incorrectly as well, the suspicion is very possible. Even the nomenclature expert Jürgen Udolph has the opinion that "Leuphana" has nothing to do with Lüneburg.<ref>[{{Toter Link|inline=ja|url=http://www.das-weisse-gold.de/download/LZ_2007_03_03_LB.pdf}}'' Professor auf Leuphana-Exkursion.''] In: ''[[Landeszeitung für die Lüneburger Heide]].'' 3.&nbsp;März 2007.</ref> His opinion on the matter is supported by his colleagues.<ref>[{{Toter Link|inline=ja|url=http://www.das-weisse-gold.de/download/LZ_200703_10_03_LB.pdf}} ''Leuphana lag in Holland.''] In: ''[[Landeszeitung für die Lüneburger Heide]].'' 10.&nbsp;März 2007.</ref>

Research, by the Institute for [[Geodäsie|Geodesy]] of the Technical University of Berlin, into a geodesic deformation analysis of the Ptolemaic map came to the result that it is probably near Leufana, to the east of Lüneburg on the Elbe, located next to [[Hitzacker]]<ref>Andreas Kleineberg, Christian Marx, Eberhard Knobloch, [[Dieter Lelgemann]]: ''Germania und die Insel Thule.

This finding is supported through the archaeological excavations in Marwedel near Hitzacker, where the University of Göttingen and the Free University of Berlin and their archaeologists Olaf Fabian and Ivonne Baier located a settlement from the time period of 78/80 to 225.<ref>[http://issuu.com/elblaender/docs/el_12_12-online/search?q=Leuphana ''Historiker orten Leuphana bei Hitzacker an der Elbe.''] In: ''Der Elbländer 12/2010.''
