2017 Map of Irwin SE

About this map

The Niobrara River carves a winding course through the southern half of this Cherry County landscape, its meandering channel defining the local topography. This 2017 survey details a remote stretch of the Nebraska Sandhills where water features like Coffey Lake and the small drainage of Leander Creek are primary landmarks in an otherwise open terrain. To the southwest, the level expanse of Lavaca Flats provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding hills. The map is heavily defined by the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of Township 34 North, Township 33 North, and Township 32 North, illustrating how the land was historically partitioned for ranching and management in this section of the Great Plains.
