2014 Map of Brandon NW

About this map

Perkins County's high plains landscape in western Nebraska is defined here by a systematic grid of section-line roads, a testament to the enduring impact of the Public Land Survey System on the American West. This 2014 topographic study documents the sparse, open character of the region, where transportation is anchored by long, straight corridors such as Road 314 and Road 317. The terrain features subtle drainage patterns and depressions that break the geometric regularity of the east-west thoroughfares like Road 765 and Road 767. Without named towns or settlements in this specific quadrangle, the map serves as a detailed record of rural land divisions and the infrastructure required to manage large-scale agricultural or ranching operations in this portion of the state.
