2014 Map of Hay Springs NE

About this map

Walgren Lake and the winding course of Hay Springs Cr define this pocket of Sheridan County, where the High Plains landscape meets the water resources essential for life in the Nebraska Panhandle. The map reveals a strictly gridded system of section roads, such as 580th Rd and 380th Ln, which speak to the enduring patterns of homesteading and agricultural land management in the region. Traversing the terrain from west to east is Us-20, a critical transportation artery that connects these remote rural sections to larger trade centers. While the higher elevations in the north are drained by Rush Cr, the south is anchored by the localized water storage at Musfelt Reservoir. This 2014 survey documents the modern state of these rural corridors, providing a detailed record of the intersections and named trails like 370th Trl that facilitate movement through this open country.
