2017 Map of Agate SW

About this map

Sioux County's high plains terrain is defined here by the Public Land Survey System grids of T28N, T27N, and T26N. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a sparse but functional network of rural transportation routes that navigate the undulating topography of the Nebraska panhandle. Principal thoroughfares such as Morrill Rd and Murphy Rd provide the primary access through the sections, while smaller tracks like Moore Rd and Murphys Rd connect the isolated ranching and agricultural lands. The map illustrates a landscape of intermittent drainage patterns and subtle elevation shifts, characteristic of this part of the Sheep Creek Precinct. Given the limited density of named settlements, these established roads serve as the most critical landmarks for identifying property boundaries and historical land use in this expansive region.
