About this map

Alliance serves as the focal point for this section of the Nebraska panhandle, anchored by the Western Nebraska Community College Alliance Campus and the sprawling Alliance Municipal Airport to the southeast. The town's residential and commercial grid transitions into a landscape dominated by infrastructure and drainage, including Sewer Lake Number 1 and Sewer Lake Number 2 situated near the small settlement of Rainbow Acres. To the north, Greenwood Cem sits alone along Co Rd 58, providing a specific point of interest for those tracing local family history.

The topography is defined by the winding course of Snake Cr, which meanders across the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. This watercourse, along with numerous unnamed small depressions and wetlands, highlights the unique hydrology of Box Butte County. A dense network of rural routes, such as Perkins Rd and Otoe Rd, connects these isolated homesteads and ranching lands to the regional hub, reflecting a late-20th-century pattern of western agricultural development.
