2014 Map of Melton Ranch Airport

About this map

Red Willow Cr and its tributary Dry Cr define the drainage patterns of this rural Lincoln County landscape, carving subtle paths through the Nebraska hills. The area is characterized by a sparse network of section-line roads, many bearing names that hint at the region's agricultural and frontier heritage, such as Prairie Trace Rd and W Burma Rd. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a modern view of the open ranch land near the Red Willow Cr valley, where large-scale land management and traditional western cattle country intersect. The layout of roads like Medicine Rd and Dickens Rd highlights the enduring importance of established travel corridors in maintaining the connectivity of this expansive high plains terrain.
