2017 Map of Burger Canyon West

About this map

Little Blackwood Cr and Skunk Cr carve through this portion of Hayes County, defining a landscape of deeply incised drainages and dry canyons. The terrain is dominated by geological features such as Burger Canyon and Government Canyon, which provide a clear look at the intricate network of coulees and ridges typical of southwestern Nebraska. Evidence of early rural communities is anchored by local landmarks such as Pleasant Ridge Cem and the German Evangelical Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in the area. The map shows a sparse network of county roads, including RD 732 and Ave 371a, which follow the section lines across the high plains between the forks of Blackwood Cr.
