2017 Map of Hay Springs NE

About this map

Hay Springs Cr meanders through the high plains of Sheridan County, shaping a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and rural section lines. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a remote corner of Nebraska where the township and range system remains the primary structural influence on the land. The presence of Musfelt Reservoir in the northeast serves as a critical point of water management in an area otherwise dominated by the intermittent flow of Rush Cr. The road network, including Strotheide Rd and Church Rd, follows the strict geometry of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the enduring legacy of early settlement patterns and agricultural development. This map provides a precise view of the terrain as it existed just before the turn of the decade, noting the specific locations of rural routes like 610th Rd and 550th Rd.
