About this map

The Snake River meanders through a landscape defined by isolated water bodies and expansive rangelands along the border of Sheridan and Cherry counties. Surveyed in the late 1960s, this area reflects the traditional Sandhills cattle country, where land divisions such as Lavaca, East Gordon, Russell, and Kincaid indicate the historical township and range organization of Nebraska's interior.

Natural landmarks like Hackberry Lake, Chokecherry Lake, and Cedar Lake provide essential focal points in a region with few established settlements. The inclusion of Big Lake and Hart Lake within the Bovee Valley demonstrates the vital role of these basins in an otherwise arid environment. This map is particularly useful for identifying historical fence lines and field boundaries visible during the 1968 aerial photography phase of the survey.
