About this map

The Ness Co Hodgeman Co boundary line divides this prairie landscape, where the meandering course of the Pawnee River and its tributary Sand Cr define the local drainage. Life in this rural section of Ness County revolves around a traditional grid of section lines, including Aa RD, 10 RD, and 20 RD, which connect scattered homesteads and agricultural operations. Evidence of early settlement and community history is preserved at two distinct burial grounds: Saint John the Baptist Cem and Crandall Cem, which serve as permanent landmarks in an otherwise open terrain. The mapping reflects a late-period survey of the high plains, showing how the original Public Land Survey System township and range divisions—such as t20s r21w—continue to dictate the modern road network and land ownership patterns.
