The Samuel R McKelvie National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this Nebraska Sandhills region, where the Snake River carves a winding path toward the Merritt Reservoir. This 1985 survey captures a sparsely populated ranching landscape defined by broad valleys and plateaus, including Chesterfield Flats and Tombstone Valley. The presence of the Boardman Creek School and family-named operations like Bachelor Ranch and Ravenscroft Ranch along the southern creek beds illustrates the isolated, community-centered nature of cattle country in Cherry County.
