2014 Map of Culbertson SE

About this map

Driftwood Cr and the Driftwood Canal meander through this borderland where Nebraska meets Kansas. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of northern canyons such as Tipton Canyon, transitioning into the deeper drainages of Burr Oak Canyon and East Oak Canyon at the southern boundary. This 2014 survey documents a sparsely settled agricultural and ranching region where section lines are marked by a grid of local roads, including Road 710 and Road 376. A focal point for local history is the Grove Cem in the north-central section, while aviation infrastructure is represented by Hoyt Airport. The map captures the meeting of three counties—Hitchcock and Red Willow in Nebraska, and Rawlins in Kansas—illustrating how topography and political boundaries intersect in this part of the Great Plains.
