About this map

Big Cedar Cr and Little Cedar Cr flow through this section of Garfield County, marking a landscape defined by the intricate hydrology of the Sandhills. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and basins, a pattern typical of this Nebraska region where surface water and groundwater are closely linked. While formal settlements are absent, the map traces the essential rural infrastructure that connects this cattle country, including Silver Rd and the Cedar River Rd which follows the path of the watercourses in the northeastern corner. The inclusion of the Public Land Survey System grids, such as t23n r14w, illustrates the orderly division of this open range into townships and ranges, a foundational element for land ownership and genealogical research in the Great Plains.
