2011 Map of Kings Canyon

About this map

Kings Canyon defines the north-central topography of this Dawes County region, where the high plains of western Nebraska meet deeply incised drainage systems. The landscape is marked by a network of rural routes that follow the natural contours of the land, such as Kings Canyon Rd and Scooped Table Rd. These roads provide access to the remote uplands and the fertile bottoms along Big Bordeaux Creek and Chadron Creek. This early 21st-century survey reflects the enduring cattle ranching and agricultural character of the Nebraska Panhandle, where the distribution of roads like Table Rd and Antelope Rd indicates a sparse, rural settlement pattern typical of the high plains. The map is a precise record of water sources and property access points essential for local land management and genealogical research in this part of the state.
