2011 Map of Cody West

About this map

Cody serves as the primary settlement on this Nebraska-South Dakota borderlands map, which highlights a landscape defined by ranching and waterway networks. The northern portion of the region is dominated by established cattle operations, including the Triangle B Ranch, Hay Creek Ranch, Duck Brand Ranch, and Hay Valley Ranch, all situated along the winding course of Hay Creek. To the northeast, Cody Lake provides a localized water source in this semi-arid terrain. The southern edge of the quadrangle reaches the Niobrara River, where Bear Creek joins the larger drainage system. This survey illustrates the traditional land-use patterns of the High Plains, where human settlement and agricultural infrastructure follow the natural breaks and valleys carved by these vital watercourses.
