2017 Map of Barrel Springs Creek North

About this map

Point of Rocks Cr and its northern and southern branches carve a distinct drainage pattern across this high plains landscape of Box Butte County. The terrain is defined by a systematic grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Hall Rd and Madison Rd, which reflect the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System. This 2017 survey illustrates the rural character of western Nebraska, where the open range is partitioned into vast townships such as t26n r51w and t26n r50w. The network of local routes like Jefferson Rd and Keith Rd provides a clear view of how modern land use and transportation continue to follow the historical boundaries established by early homesteaders and ranchers in this corner of the state.
