2021 Map of Arabia

About this map

The small settlement of Arabia sits in the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape defined by its complex hydrology and early transportation routes. Cutting diagonally across the quadrangle is the Cowboy Trl, tracing the path of a former rail corridor that once served the remote ranching communities of Cherry County. This modern survey reflects the area's continued reliance on managed water systems, evidenced by the Ainsworth Canal in the south and the O'Kief Reservoir in the northeast corner. The natural drainage of the region is characterized by seasonal and perennial streams like Evergreen Cr and S Fork Fairfield Cr, which weave through the dune topography. Local transit is largely confined to the diagonal trail and Fairfield Rd, illustrating the sparse, functional road network required to navigate this portion of the Great Plains.
