2011 Map of Bordeaux

About this map

Bordeaux serves as a central anchor in this rural Dawes County landscape, where the prairie begins to break into the dramatic rises of the Pine Ridge region. The area is defined by sharp topographic contrasts, from the winding path of Little Bordeaux Creek to the prominent natural monuments that guided early travelers. Local landmarks like Devils Backbone and Lovers Leap stand out against the drainage patterns of Cilek Creek, illustrating the geological complexity of the Nebraska panhandle. A network of local routes, including Redfern Rd and Beaver Valley Rd, connects the small settlement to the surrounding ranch land. The map also identifies distinctive formations such as Sheridan Gates and Squaw Tit Butte, which remain significant points of interest for those studying the physical history and land-use patterns of this corner of the state.
