2017 Map of Easterly Airport

About this map

The high plains of the Nebraska-Colorado border define this landscape where the high ground of Mount Vernon overlooks a network of seasonal drainages. This high-altitude prairie environment is characterized by large-scale agricultural divisions and a grid of rural routes ranging from RD 18 in the north to RD 2 at the state line. Hydrological features like Sidney Draw and Sand Draw illustrate the natural drainage patterns of the region, while the presence of Chambers Spring indicates rare localized water sources in this arid terrain. The map documents the precise intersection of Cheyenne County, Nebraska, and Logan County, Colorado, tracing the geopolitical boundary through a landscape of section lines and intermittent creek beds like Cow Cr. This survey provides a clear view of the land use and survey grid at the edge of the Nebraska Panhandle during the late 2010s.
