2011 Map of Kennedy NW

About this map

Merritt Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Cherry County quadrangle, where the expansive shoreline and nearby Powder Horn Area Campground suggest a hub for outdoor activity and land management in the Nebraska Sandhills. The northern half is defined by the winding course of Steer Creek, which flows eastward through a series of valleys flanked by ranch roads and fire access routes. Notable backcountry destinations like Steer Creek Camp are connected by a network of numbered trails and roads, including the Powderhorn Trl and the 16F to 97 Rd. This 2011 survey illustrates the sparse, high-plains infrastructure where water resources and primitive roads dictate the movement across the terrain.
