2021 Map of Bucktail

About this map

Sunnyside Valley and Center Valley form the heart of this landscape in the Nebraska Sandhills, where the topography is defined by the unique drainage patterns of the region. The small settlement of Bucktail serves as a focal point for the local ranching community, situated at the junction of Bucktail Rd and routes leading through the low-lying basins. The map captures the agricultural and geographical boundary between Arthur and McPherson Counties, illustrating how local infrastructure like Whitman Rd and Three Mile Rd navigates the undulating terrain. A significant water feature in this arid environment, Eaton Lake lies to the west, while named depressions such as Loyd Valley and Mell Valley highlight the specific family and local nomenclature tied to the land's history and survey records.
