2017 Map of Hackberry Creek

About this map

Pumpkin Cr and its associated drainages define the northern landscape of this Banner County region, where the high plains meet the intricate topography of the Nebraska Panhandle. The map reveals a rural environment structured by a grid of county roads and section lines, including Co RD 24 and Co RD 14. In the southeastern corner, the land rises toward Chalk Mound, a distinct topographical landmark. Genealogists and local historians will find significant interest in the presence of Chalk Creek Cem and Kirk Cem, which serve as physical anchors for the area's pioneer families and early settlement history. The intermittent flow of Hackberry Creek and Bighorn Gulch through the draws illustrates the drainage patterns essential to the ranching and agricultural life that has long characterized this portion of the state.
