2021 Map of Hire NE

About this map

N Br Middle Loup River and the Middle Br Middle Loup River meander through this section of Cherry County, defining the hydrology of a landscape characterized by sand hills and seasonal watercourses. The northern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by Cox Reservoir Number 1, which manages the flow of Calf Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where the environment is dominated by these diverging river branches and intricate drainage patterns. The map provides a detailed record of modern water management and natural stream paths across the Nebraska sandhills, showing the distinct lack of built infrastructure common to this open ranching country.
