2017 Map of Fairchild Ranch

About this map

Fairchild Ranch sits at the northern edge of this Nebraska landscape, where the high plains of the Panhandle meet the intermittent flow of Cedar Creek. The terrain is defined by a grid of section lines and gravel routes, including RD 62, which marks the boundary between Morrill and Cheyenne Counties. This 2017 survey illustrates the enduring cattle-ranching layout of the region, showing how contemporary land use still follows the foundational Public Land Survey System. The map traces the winding course of Cedar Cr as it carves through the local topography, providing a detailed view of the drainage patterns and relief that dictate the placement of ranch infrastructure and local roads like RD 123 and RD 56.
