2011 Map of Hay Springs Creek

About this map

Hay Springs Creek and Little Bordeaux Creek define the drainage of this Dawes County landscape, where the terrain is organized by a strict grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares. The property boundaries and transit patterns of the early 21st century are clear through named routes like Long Rd, Egan Rd, and Co Line Rd, which demarcate the agricultural parcels. To the south, Anderson Dam manages local water resources, while the presence of Table Rd and Antelope Rd reflects the naming conventions of this high plains cattle and grain country. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey preserves the specific layout of Nebraska's rural infrastructure, from the local section-line crossings to the specific waterway bends that have shaped land ownership in the region.
