About this map

The settlement of Bucktail anchors this high-plains landscape, situated at the border of Arthur and McPherson counties. This 2014 survey captures a quiet geography defined by extensive topographic depressions and named drainages, including the broad Sunnyside Valley and Center Valley to the north. A network of rural routes such as Three Mile Rd and Storer Rd connect scattered ranchlands across the undulating terrain.

Water is a vital but sparse resource in this environment, represented here by Bucktail Lake in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Further south, the map details the terrain around Mell Valley and Loyd Valley, where the local road system follows the natural contours of the land. The presence of Ne-92 provides the primary east-west corridor through the region, linking these isolated valleys to the wider Nebraska plains.
