2011 Map of Indian Springs

About this map

Indian Springs Creek carves a path through this corner of Banner County, defining the drainage patterns and topography of the high plains. The landscape is marked by prominent elevations such as Table Top Mountain and Bighorn Mountain, which overlook the deep incision of Indian Springs Canyon. This map captures the rural ranching character of the early 21st century, where large property holdings like the Van Pelt Ranch and Fayden Ranch are the primary markers of human settlement. Water management in this arid environment is evident near the Indian Springs source and the localized infrastructure of Faden Dam. A grid of county roads, including Co RD 124 and Co RD 57, provides the essential connectivity between these isolated ranch sites and the wider Nebraska plains.
