2014 Map of Dry Sheep Creek

About this map

Dry Sheep Cr meanders through the high plains of the Nebraska Panhandle, cutting through a landscape defined by an extensive system of irrigation engineering. This 2014 survey reveals the vital role of water management in the region, centered on the Interstate Canal and its numerous branches, such as Lateral 7 Main and Lateral Number 8. These waterways support the agricultural expanse of Dutch Flats, where the grid of rural roads like Harrison Rd and S C RD organizes the territory. Small settlements and specialized locations appear throughout the quadrangle, including the rural communities of Roach and Scoville, as well as the Svitak Airport. The boundary between Sioux Co and Scotts Bluff Co at the southern edge of the sheet marks a transition in local jurisdiction within this developed prairie environment.
