About this map

The Nebraska National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Dawes County landscape, where the terrain is carved by a network of seasonal drainages including Cottonwood Creek and Willow Creek. The map documents a rural transition from the protected forest highlands down toward the expansive ranch lands of the Pine Ridge region. Evidence of early twentieth-century community life is centered at the Highland Center Cemetery on the northeastern edge, near the junction of Highland Road and Table Road. Local travel and access are facilitated by a series of descriptive thoroughfares such as Section Line Road and Hollibaugh Road, alongside the recreational path of the Pine Ridge C Trail. This modern topographic survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of East Ash Creek and Cunningham Creek as they navigate the ridges and valleys of the northern plains.
