2017 Map of Chalk Buttes

About this map

Chalk Buttes rise above the high plains of Sioux County, marking a prominent topographic break in this corner of the Nebraska panhandle. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by expansive public land survey sections, including t26n r57w and t26n r56w, where the sparse drainage of Dry Sheep Cr cuts through the terrain. The network of rural routes, including Moore Rd, Murphys Rd, and Morrill Rd, traces the section lines of the Sheep Creek Precinct. The map provides a precise look at the modern rural infrastructure and land divisions in a region where the land remains largely open, characterized by the distinct elevation shifts between the flats and the eponymous buttes.
