2017 Map of Big Bald Hill NE

About this map

The rolling sandhills of Nebraska are documented here at the intersection of three counties, where the high-plains landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Birdwood Creek. Flowing through the southern portion of the sheet, the W Birdwood Cr and N Fork Birdwood Cr create a distinct valley system that contrasts with the surrounding upland terrain. This area remains largely open ranch land, serviced by a sparse network of paths including Diamond Bar Rd and Seiffer Dr. A solitary marker of local heritage, the Valley View Cem, sits on a rise above the valley, providing a genealogical anchor for the region. To the north, Lawyer Lake sits in a depression amongst the dunes, illustrating the typical hydrology of this part of the state where small bodies of water are tucked into the shifting topography.
