2021 Map of Culbertson SE

About this map

The high plains of the Nebraska-Kansas border define this landscape, where the deeply dissected terrain of Tipton Canyon and Burr Oak Canyon drops toward the drainage of Driftwood Cr. In this corner of Hitchcock County, the 2021 topography reveals a land-use pattern dominated by agriculture and water management, evidenced by the Driftwood W Canal cutting through the northern sections. Human presence is concentrated near the road networks like Co RD 710 and Co RD 708, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. Local history is anchored at the Grove Cem in the north-central portion of the map, while the Hoyt Airport serves as a modern landmark. The terrain transitions from high plateaus down into narrow creek valleys such as Elm Cr, illustrating the erosive forces that have shaped this portion of the Great Plains.
