About this map

Alliance serves as the focal point of this High Plains landscape, where the urban grid of the city's east side meets the expansive agricultural and aviation infrastructure of Box Butte County. The map documents a transition from residential streets like Potash Ave and Grand Ave to the industrial and transport corridors defined by Perkins Rd and Ne-2. Just northeast of the city center, Greenwood Cem stands as a significant site for genealogical research, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle shows the residential development of Rainbow Acrs near the winding course of Snake Creek.

To the south, the sprawling grounds of the Alliance Municipal Airport dominate the central terrain, its runways set against the natural hydrology of the region. The presence of Sewer Lake Number 1 and Sewer Lake Number 2 on the eastern margin, along with the Box Butte and Morrill county line at the southern boundary, provides a clear view of the mid-2010s infrastructure and political geography of the Nebraska panhandle.
