2014 Map of Kennedy NW

About this map

Sam R. McKelvie National Forest dominates this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape characterized by its intricate topography and delicate water systems. The northern portion of the map is defined by the meandering course of Steer Cr, while the southern reaches reveal the northern extent of the Merritt Reservoir. This 2014 survey documents the established network of forest roads and trails that provide access through the undulating terrain, including the Powderhorn Trl and Powder Finger Trl. The primary transit corridor, 16F To 97 Rd, cuts across the lower half of the quadrangle, serving as a vital connection point for this protected natural area. The layout of these trails and roads highlights how the region has been managed for both conservation and controlled access within the larger forest system.
