2017 Map of Chadron West

About this map

Chadron sits at the edge of the high plains, serving as a regional hub defined by the academic presence of Chadron State College and its proximity to the northern escarpments of the Pine Ridge. The landscape transitions from the urban grid of the city, marked by Greenwood Cem and Calvary Cem, into the open ranching and agricultural lands of Dawes County. To the northwest, Dakota Junction indicates the historical importance of rail connections, while the White River and Chadron Cr carve drainage patterns through the terrain. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the protected lands of the Nebraska National Forest, where the topography rises toward Rattlesnake Butte. This 2017 survey details the modern infrastructure of the area, including the Chadron Municipal Airport and a network of rural roads like Deadhorse Rd and Buttermilk Rd that connect isolated landmarks such as Shisler Cem.
