2014 Map of Gables

About this map

The settlement of Gables anchors this survey of the Nebraska Sandhills, situated along the diagonal path of Cedar River Rd. This rural landscape is defined by the winding course of Cedar Cr (also appearing as Cedar Creek), which cuts through the undulating topography typical of the region. The map reveals a sparse network of section-line roads, such as Dumas Ave and 839th Rd, which serve the isolated homesteads and ranching lands of the area. Positioned near the boundary of Garfield Co and Wheeler Co, the map documents a quiet corner of Nebraska where the natural drainage of the creek dictates the placement of local infrastructure and the limited settlement patterns of the early 21st century.
