2011 Map of Dalton SE

About this map

Rush Creek meanders across this rural section of Cheyenne County, creating the primary topographic relief in a landscape otherwise defined by a precise grid of agricultural transport routes. This 2011 survey reveals a territory organized for modern high-plains farming, where roads like Road 50 and Road 135 segment the terrain into uniform sections. A notable departure from the agricultural grid is the Miller Airstrip, located in the northeast quadrant, which highlights the importance of private aviation for oversight and accessibility in this expansive environment. Local names like Egging Rd reflect the enduring presence of specific families in the region, offering a touchstone for genealogists tracking land use and legacy in the Nebraska panhandle. The map captures a moment of established rural infrastructure, where the natural course of the creek and a network of gravel and dirt roads dictated the flow of daily life.
