2017 Map of Kilpatrick Lake NE

About this map

Cook NW Reservoir and the headwaters of the Snake Creek system dominate the southern reaches of this Box Butte County landscape. The 2017 survey shows a region defined by its hydrology and section-line road network, where the N Br Snake Creek and S Br Point of Rocks Creek cut subtle drainage patterns across the high plains. This map documents the precise rural grid and water management features essential to Nebraska’s Panhandle agriculture. The transition between Township 25 North and Township 26 North is marked by a steady succession of east-west connectors including Lincoln Rd, Keith Rd, and Hayes Rd, which facilitate movement between the scattered ranching and farming operations. The presence of named reservoirs like the Cook NW Reservoir indicates the critical role of surface water storage in this semi-arid prairie environment.
