2011 Map of Coffee Mill Butte SW

About this map

Highland Center Cemetery sits at the northeastern edge of this Dawes County landscape, a marker of the enduring rural communities in the Nebraska Panhandle. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including the branching headwaters of Cottonwood Creek, Willow Creek, and East Ash Creek. These watercourses dictate the layout of the local transport network, where long straight stretches like Section Line Rd and Table Rd give way to more winding routes such as Hollibaugh Rd as they navigate the breaks. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region where the names of early settlers remain preserved on the land through landmarks like W Ash Creek Rd and Hough Rd.
