The High Plains landscape of Perkins County is defined here by the sparse but deliberate layout of section-line roads and seasonal drainage. Walpole Cem serves as a small, grounded anchor for local family history, situated along the north-south corridor of Paxton-Elsie Rd. The undulating terrain is etched by the meandering path of Red Willow Cr, which cuts through the southern half of the quadrangle. Aside from the rural cemetery, the only other distinct landmark is the Coppersmith Airport to the east, reflecting the modern reliance on general aviation in these open agricultural stretches. This 2017 survey captures the enduring grid-based settlement pattern of Nebraska’s ranching and farming country, where the vast majority of the land remains divided by routes like Rd 767 and Swanson Rd W.
