2021 Map of Big Springs
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Big Springs sits at a geographic crossroads where the South Platte River and the Western Canal define the irrigation and transport corridor of the Nebraska-Colorado borderlands. The town's grid is anchored by Railroad St, signaling the historic importance of the rail line that follows the river valley through this portion of Deuel County. North of the settlement, the terrain transitions into the draw of Trailer House Gulch, surrounded by a high-plains landscape marked by a strict section-line road network including Circle Rd and various numbered routes. Genealogists will find the Big Spring Cem located just south of the primary townsite, overlooking the river bottom. This 2021 survey also documents the precise jurisdictional meeting of Deuel, Keith, Perkins, and Sedgwick counties, where the state line divides the agricultural plains of Nebraska from the Colorado panhandle.
