2014 Map of Bartlett NW

About this map

Buffalo Flats dominates the northern landscape of this Wheeler County terrain, where the undulating Sandhills topography of Nebraska is clearly visible through fine-grained contour lines. The seasonal and intermittent flow of Beaver Cr skirts the northeastern corner, providing a vital water source in this predominantly agricultural and ranching region. A grid of local section-line roads, including 839th Rd and 491st Ave, provides access to the interior, while the distinctive Dorn Loop suggests a family-named ranching access route or historical boundary. The map illustrates a classic Great Plains settlement pattern where wide-open spaces are organized by a rigid rectangular survey system, punctuated by occasional depressions and small water bodies that define the local hydrology.
