About this map

Curry Lake and the surrounding Sandhills terrain define this portion of the border between Garden and Grant Counties. The landscape is characterized by a series of distinct topographic depressions, many named for local families or geographical features, such as French Valley and Anderson Valley. These valleys often contain small wetlands or intermittent water bodies, a signature of the Nebraska high plains ecosystem.

Surface transportation is limited to a sparse network of rural roads like S Ashby Rd and Rd 209, reflecting the low-density ranching environment of the early 21st century. The map illustrates the sprawling nature of Nebraska's rangeland, where named locations like Leech Valley and Double Supply Valley provide the primary landmarks across the rolling dunes. Large township and range blocks, including t21n r41w and t22n r40w, underscore the systematic division of this expansive cattle country.
