K C Valley and its namesake K C Lake define this high plains landscape along the Grant and Arthur County line. The terrain is characterized by a series of deep depressions and basins that shelter small water bodies, including Sand Puddin Lake and the Three Tanks Lakes. This 2017 survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching region where local transit depends on a network of named section roads, such as Rothwell Rd, Kramer Rd, and Dancer Rd. Named for prominent local families or early settlers, basins like Nostrum Valley, Hobin Valley, and Collins Valley provide a sense of the genealogy and land use history of this Nebraska Sandhills territory. The map serves as a detailed record of the specific topography and land divisions that have shaped life in Arthur and Grant counties for generations.
