About this map

Hay Springs serves as the central hub of this High Plains landscape in Sheridan County, Nebraska. The town is situated at the intersection of several key rural routes, including Road 46 and Beaver Rd, and is anchored by the Hay Springs Post Office. This map reflects the essential infrastructure of a rural agricultural community, where water management is critical, evidenced by the presence of Davis Reservoir, Davis Dam, and Linden Dam to the north of town.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Saint Marys Cemetery and the Hay Springs Municipal Cemetery, both positioned south of the main settlement. Recreational interests are centered around Walgren Lake in the southeast corner, which includes the Walgren Lake Camping Area. The drainage of Hay Springs Creek and Beaver Creek further defines the topography of this cattle and grain country, while the Hay Springs Municipal Airport indicates the regional transportation network at the start of the 21st century.
