2017 Map of Box Butte SW

About this map

Box Butte Creek and its various tributaries, including N Br Box Butte Creek and S Br Box Butte Creek, carve a subtle drainage network through this section of the Nebraska High Plains. The landscape is characterized by a precise grid of rural section lines, with the south-central portion of the map showing the convergence of these creek branches. Toward the southern boundary, Hemingford Creek passes near Hall Rd. The layout of the road system, following strict cardinal directions with labels like Cass Rd and Grant Rd, reflects the systematic agrarian development of Box Butte County. While the map is sparse of concentrated settlements, the named corridors and waterway forks provide essential spatial references for understanding the land use and water management patterns of this agricultural region in the early 21st century.
