2014 Map of Brownlee

About this map

The North Loup River winds through the heart of the Sandhills in this portion of Cherry County, defining the local topography as it flows past the small community of Brownlee. The settlement serves as a focal point in a landscape otherwise dominated by the distinct geologic formations of the region, including the prominent elevation at Hackberry Point. Transportation through this expansive ranching country is anchored by Us-83, which runs north-to-south, and Brownlee Rd, which connects the namesake village to the surrounding terrain. Scattered water features like Alkali Lake dot the map, illustrating the unique hydrography of the Nebraska interior where groundwater and surface drainage create a mosaic of basins and hills.
