About this map

Blackwood Cr winds through the eastern portion of this Hayes County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns across several townships including t7n r34w. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-south ridges and draws, reflected in the grid of section roads that provide access to the rural acreage. These corridors, such as Ave 354 and Ave 355, represent the essential infrastructure for agricultural life in this part of Nebraska.

Evidence of historical transit routes appears in the southern portion of the quadrangle with Old Hwy 17, which runs parallel to modern section lines like Rd 738. The map documents the precise surveyed boundaries between townships, such as the line separating t8n r35w and t8n r34w, providing a clear record of the Public Land Survey System as it organized the plains into a navigable and workable landscape.
