2014 Map of Head of Rocky Hollow

About this map

Rocky Hollow defines the drainage pattern of this high plains landscape at the border of Banner and Kimball counties. The area is characterized by a sparse, grid-based network of section-line roads, including the aptly named 17 Mile Rd, which underscores the significant distances between localized features in this part of western Nebraska. The terrain is dominated by high tablelands and the headwaters of seasonal drainages, where the topography transitions from flat plateaus into the branching draws of the hollow. Local transport is facilitated by a system of gravel and dirt routes such as Co Road 6 and Co Road 54, serving a landscape primarily dedicated to large-scale ranching and agriculture near the turn of the 21st century.
