2014 Map of Mount Vernon

About this map

Lodgepole and the surrounding high plains terrain of Cheyenne County define this landscape, where the valley of Lodgepole Cr cuts through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. This 2014 survey reveals a highly organized rural infrastructure, dominated by a strict grid of section-line roads such as Road 151 and Road 32 that stitch together the vast agricultural fields. The junction of Cheyenne, Garden, and Deuel counties occurs in the northeastern quadrant, a cartographic intersection in an area where water features like Cow Creek are sparse. Significant for its depiction of modern land use, the map documents the settlement at Mt Vernon and the established transportation corridors that have long dictated the movement of goods and people across the Nebraska Panhandle.
