About this map

Nebraska National Forest lands anchor the northwest corner of this Dawes County survey, where the high plains landscape is defined by a network of drainage creeks and ranch roads. The terrain is marked by the presence of Pebble Cr and Cottonwood Cr, which carve through the topography alongside a grid of section-line and canyon roads. Local thoroughfares like Scherbarth Rd and Hereford Rd serve the rural agricultural community, while the naming of Cottonwood School Rd points to the historical placement of educational hubs in this remote portion of the panhandle. The map reveals the infrastructure of the modern ranching era, including numerous Autogate Rd crossings that signify the continued importance of open-range management and livestock movement in this high-altitude Nebraskan environment.
