2014 Map of Imperial NW

About this map

The Spring Cr drainage network carves a distinctive path through this high plains landscape on the border of southwest Nebraska. This survey documents a critical transition where the plateau surface meets the headwaters of the creek, illustrating how the natural topography dictates the rigid grid of county section roads. The boundary between Perkins Co and Chase Co runs east-west across the center of the map, intersected by a network of established routes including 330 Ave, 331 Ave, and Road 333. The alignment of these roads, such as 750 Rd and 749 Rd, follows the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, while the meandering course of the creek bed provides the only deviation from the straight-line human organization of the territory.
