2014 Map of Hayes Center SW

About this map

Blackwood Cr meanders through the eastern portion of this Hayes County landscape, defining the local drainage pattern in an otherwise highly structured section-line grid. This area of Southwest Nebraska is characterized by its agricultural organization, with a network of numbered thoroughfares including Avenue 355, Road 740, and Avenue 353 providing access across the terrain. The map captures the intersection of natural topography and human geometry, where the winding course of the creek contrasts sharply with the straight-line routes of the local road system. For those interested in local land use and ownership patterns, the alignment of roads like Road 744 and Avenue 357 reveals the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the Nebraska plains.
