2017 Map of Black Horse NE

About this map

The Grand River meanders sharply through this portion of Corson County, shaping a landscape defined by its deep hydrological network. Numerous tributaries, including Soldier Cr and Hump Cr, carve through the terrain as they flow toward the main river channel. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the sparse, rural nature of the Rock Creek District, where land use is primarily determined by the winding path of the river and its floodplains. Near the southern boundary of the quadrangle, the Holy Spirit Cem serves as a primary point of historical and genealogical interest, situated on the higher ground overlooking the Firesteel Cr drainage area. The map's detailed topography reflects the erosion patterns common to the northern plains, showing how White Shirt Cr and other small streams have etched their way into the surrounding plateaus.
