2014 Map of Kilgore SE

About this map

Niobrara River carves a deep valley across this portion of Cherry County, defining the central landscape of the Nebraska Sandhills. The rugged drainage patterns of Cox Canyon and the surrounding tablelands descend toward the river's path, while the southern edge of the map captures the winding course of the Snake River. This 2014 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching landscape where local identity is preserved in names like German Settlement Rd and Church Flat. The convergence of these two significant river systems and the presence of Ne-97 highlight the area's importance as a remote crossing point in the heart of the Great Plains.
