2021 Map of Big Springs NE

About this map

Dankworth Canyon cuts through the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape, marking a rare break in the tableland where Garden County, Deuel County, and Keith County converge. The area is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural tracks, such as RD 32 and Rd West 140, which reflect the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System. These roads trace the boundaries between townships like t15n r42w and t14n r41w, facilitating the agricultural movement and property division characteristic of western Nebraska's panhandle. The map reveals the meticulous organization of ranching and farming territories, where small depressions and ephemeral water features are scattered across the expansive prairie terrain.
