About this map

Allen Valley dominates this 2021 landscape in Cherry County, Nebraska, where the Sandhills topography creates a complex network of wetlands and seasonal drainages. The North Loup River clips the northern edge of the map, while numerous smaller watercourses like Big Cr and Horse Cr carve through the terrain. This region is characterized by significant natural depressions that have formed prominent water bodies such as Humpert Lake and the low-lying Murphy Swamp.

Human presence is marked by sparse infrastructure, primarily unpaved access routes like E Big Creek Rd and Double R Dr that navigate around the shifting elevations and Marsh Flat. This survey provides a clear look at the public land survey system grid, with sections clearly marked across townships T26N through T28N, illustrating the vast, open character of this cattle country as it remained in the early 21st century.
