About this map

The intersection of Perkins, Chase, and Hayes counties forms a remote high-plains landscape captured by photogrammetric methods in the early 1970s. This agricultural expanse is characterized by its drainage patterns and dispersed resource extraction points, where several Well sites are located throughout the sections. In the southeast corner, Attica Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark for the surrounding rural area.

Water and terrain features provide the most distinct relief in this region, notably Blackwood Creek as it winds through the northeastern sections. In the southwest, the topography becomes more pronounced at Cliff Dwellers Canyon, a named landmark that interrupts the steady contours of the prairie. The map provides a precise record of property lines and field boundaries as they existed before modern pivot irrigation further transformed the Nebraska plains.
