About this map

The Cowboy Trl cuts across the northern landscape of this region, following the historic path of the Chicago and North Western Railway. This long-distance recreational route parallels Us-20 as it crosses the high plains on the border of Cherry Co and Brown Co. The terrain is defined by a complex network of prairie drainage, where the N Fork Plum Cr, S Fork Plum Cr, and Brush Cr flow through the undulating sandhills topography.

Water management is a central feature of the area, anchored by the Ainsworth Canal, which winds through the central portion of the map to support local agriculture. Natural water bodies like Leach Lake sit among the rises, while numerous seasonal streams such as Cedar Cr and Dry Cr mark the subtle shifts in elevation. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and hydraulic systems in this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills during the early 21st century.
