About this map

Pleasant Hill Cemetery sits near the center of this rural Scotts Bluff County landscape, serving as a focal point for local history and genealogy. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage features, including Shoemaker Canyon and Whipple Canyon in the north, and Bull Canyon to the southeast. These deep incisions in the high plains suggest a complex erosional environment characteristic of the Nebraska panhandle.

A network of section-line roads, such as Stegall Rd and Carter Canyon Rd, grid the territory, providing access to remote ranching or agricultural tracts. The presence of Murray Lake and smaller unnamed water bodies nearby indicates localized basins that collect seasonal runoff. This survey captures the region's infrastructure and natural topography as it appeared in the early 21st century, illustrating the enduring relationship between the semi-arid environment and the established road network.
