2014 Map of Brush Hill

About this map

The North Loup River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a distinct path through the rolling sandhills of Cherry County. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated interior of Nebraska where the elevation rises toward the landmark of Brush Hill in the southeast. Water is a defining yet scarce element in this terrain, represented by the isolated Green Lake and the aptly named Big Dry Valley to the north. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where section lines and local roads navigate around the complex natural topography of the hills, maintaining the remote character of this ranching country.
