2017 Map of Dittons Creek NW

About this map

Stinking Water Cr meanders southward through the agricultural high plains of Southwest Nebraska, carving a distinct drainage through the section lines of Chase and Perkins counties. This 2017 survey shows the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, where townships like t9n r36w and t8n r37w dictate the placement of rural infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the incision of Cliff Dwellers Canyon in the southeast, a sharp topographical break from the surrounding plateau. A meticulous network of county roads, including 750 Rd and 342 Ave, provides access to the remote sections and farmsteads. The transition across the Perkins Co Chase Co boundary illustrates the administrative divisions that have organized this part of the Great Plains for generations, maintaining a landscape focused on ranching and dryland farming.
