2017 Map of Eli

About this map

Eli sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, marking a vital point of habitation along the state line where South Dakota and Nebraska meet. This 2017 survey details the remote borderland shared between Bennett County and Cherry County, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies. Notable landmarks include Winslow Lake and Nelson Lake in the northern reaches, while the meandering course of Bear Creek cuts through the southern terrain. The topographical relief of Connely Flat provides a distinct geographical contrast to the surrounding depressions, illustrating the unique drainage patterns of this prairie region where roads are sparse and the natural hydrology of the sandhills and plains remains the dominant feature.
