2017 Map of Dittons Creek

About this map

Dittons Creek meanders through this western Nebraska landscape, defining a terrain shaped by seasonal watercourses and a rigid section-line road grid. The map illustrates the sparsely populated ranching and agricultural character of Chase County, where the hydrology of Sinking Water Cr and Spring Cr dictates the local geography. The systematic organization of the land is evident in the alignment of thoroughfares like 324 Ave and 744 Rd, which facilitate movement across the wide-open township boundaries of t7n r36w and t8n r37w. This survey is a precise record of the modern rural infrastructure, showing the relationship between small intermittent streams and the expansive fields that comprise the High Plains environment.
