About this map

The high plains of the Colorado-Nebraska border define this landscape, where the agricultural grid of Chase County meets the state line at Phillips and Chase counties. The drainage of Frenchman Cr and Wildhorse Cr carves subtle relief into the terrain, which is otherwise dominated by a systematic network of section roads like Co RD 26 and 740 RD. A singular point of local genealogical interest is the Pleasant Valley Cem, situated along Co RD 61. This area, characterized by its wide-open ranching and farming tracts, includes the distinctive Sand Draw in the northeastern reaches, illustrating the arid watercourses typical of the Nebraska panhandle region. The map preserves the exact township and range divisions, such as t7n r42w, which have dictated land ownership and settlement patterns since the early homesteading era.
