2017 Map of Hayes Center

About this map

Hayes Center serves as the focal point of this plains landscape in Hayes County, defined by a grid of rural roads and the undulating drainage of Blackwood Cr and Little Blackwood Cr. The town layout is clearly delineated by streets such as Francis St, Troth St, and Hamilton Ave, reflecting a settled agricultural community in the early 21st century. To the north, Government Canyon breaks the prairie floor, providing a distinctive geographical landmark amidst the surrounding section lines. Genealogy researchers will find the Hayes Center Cem positioned just north of the village, a key site for tracing local heritage. The map also records the path of Old Hwy 17 as it skirts the southern reaches of the Blackwood valley, highlighting the persistent importance of these established transit corridors in western Nebraska.
