2017 Map of Big Falls

About this map

The North Loup River winds through this sparsely populated stretch of Cherry County, defining a landscape of rolling terrain and water features in the Nebraska Sandhills. The river corridor is the central geographical focus, marked by the namesake Big Falls and the nearby Horseshoe Falls, which represent rare hydrological landmarks in this region. This 2017 survey shows a territory dominated by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for t28n r34w and t29n r33w overlaying a terrain largely devoid of formal settlements or road networks. The intricate contour lines and wetland signatures suggest a fragile ecosystem where water drainage patterns like those of the N Loup River dictate the land's utility and character.
