About this map

The rolling tablelands of western Perkins County are defined by the winding course of Red Willow Cr, which meanders southeast across a landscape of sectioned agricultural fields and cattle range. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring rural character of the Nebraska panhandle, where local travel depends on a grid of gravel roads like RD 764 and the principal north-south connector known variously as Elsie Paxton Rd and Paxton Elsie Rd.

Remote airstrips serve as vital links for the regional ranching and farming economy. Notable private aviation landmarks include Holzfaster's Airport in the northern portion of the quadrangle and Jantzen Airport near the western boundary. The map illustrates a meticulously surveyed interior, marked by township and range lines such as t12n r36w and t11n r37w, where the geography remains sparse and focused on the drainages of the High Plains.
