2012 Map of Highmore NE

About this map

Lost Cr provides the primary drainage for this rural Hand County landscape, winding through a grid-defined prairie environment. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals the strict North American Public Land Survey System geometry that dictates the regional transportation network. Section lines are traced by gravel and soil-surfaced roads like 340th Ave and 347th Ave, creating a repetitive five-by-five mile block structure. The scarcity of named landmarks outside of the road network and minor water features suggests a territory dedicated to large-scale agriculture and grazing. Researchers will find a preserved view of the township-and-range layout, with routes such as 183rd St and 190th St marking the bounds of the open Highmore countryside.
