2011 Map of Gables

About this map

Cedar Creek meanders diagonally through this sparsely settled portion of Garfield County, creating a distinctive hydrological pattern across the Nebraska sandhills. The landscape is primarily defined by the creek's winding path and a network of small, scattered ponds and wetlands in the northern section. The small settlement of Gables sits along a primary roadway, serving as a localized point of reference in an otherwise open ranching or agricultural environment. This 2011 United States Geological Survey depiction highlights the relationship between the limited water sources and the rural road infrastructure, where long straight stretches of local routes intersect the natural curves of the creek basin.
