2014 Map of Barrel Springs Creek North

About this map

Hansen Reservoir and the drainage network of Point of Rocks Cr define this section of the High Plains in Box Butte County. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-south and east-west rural corridors, including Madison Rd and Lincoln Rd, which grid the landscape for agricultural access. This USGS survey highlights the hydrological structure of the region, showing how the N Br Point of Rocks Cr and S Br Point of Rocks Cr converge to feed into the primary creek system. In the southern portion of the map, Barrel Springs Cr cuts through the topography, illustrating the natural watercourses that have historically influenced land use and ranching boundaries in this part of western Nebraska.
