2011 Map of Bushnell

About this map

Lodgepole Creek meanders eastward through the high plains of western Nebraska, following a corridor shared by primary transportation routes in this 2011 survey. The village of Bushnell serves as the focal point for the region, anchored by the Bushnell Post Office and a network of rural roads that grid the surrounding agricultural land. To the southwest, the small settlement of Smeed sits along the rail line and highway, illustrating the historical reliance of these communities on the transit artery connecting them to larger regional centers. The map documents a landscape defined by irrigation and water management, evidenced by the James Dam Number 2 and a series of county roads like Co RD-17 and Co RD-13 that facilitate local movement between homesteads. Along the western edge, State Line Rd marks the political boundary, separating the open fields of Kimball County from its neighbors.
