2014 Map of Douglas West

About this map

The town of Douglas sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, positioned just above the shoreline of Douglas Lake. The area is defined by a grid of rural roads and the undulating drainage of the Middle Br Douglas Cr, which winds through the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2014 survey captures the geometric precision of the Great Plains section lines, marked by routes such as 359th Ave SW and 24th St NW, as they cross the jurisdictional line between Ward Co and McLean Co. The terrain is characterized by a high-density network of small depressions and potholes typical of the glaciated prairie, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region before these waters eventually feed into the larger Missouri River drainage system to the south.
