2018 Map of Jetmore NW

About this map

The Pawnee River meanders across the northern reaches of Hodgeman County, defining the drainage patterns of this High Plains landscape. This 2018 survey illustrates the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, where sections are divided by a network of rural roads that follow township lines. In the western portion of the quadrangle, Cottonwood Creek flows through the prairie, providing a natural contrast to the structured grid of range and township boundaries such as t21s r24w. The map preserves the specific locations of watercourses and elevation contours before modern land-use changes, offering a clear view of the area's physical geography as it existed in the early 21st century.
