About this map

Agricultural lands north of the Platte River valley define this section of Deuel County, recorded here by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2011. The landscape is organized by a precise grid of section-line roads, such as Road 205 and Road 22, which facilitate movement through the high plains. The most significant thoroughfare is Road 34, which sweeps across the northern reaches, while Day Rd provides a north-south axis through the central fields.

The terrain is marked by the intermittent hydrology characteristic of the Nebraska Panhandle, with ephemeral drainages and small basins scattered across the survey. These natural depressions often punctuate the straight lines of the transportation network. Notable corridors like Road W P N and Road W D N highlight the systematic division of land for large-scale farming and ranching in this sparsely populated interior region.
