About this map

Pleasant Hill Cem marks the local heritage of this rural landscape along the border of Scotts Bluff and Banner counties. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic erosional features, including Shoemaker Canyon, Whipple Canyon, and the prominent Cottonwood Canyon to the east. These landforms create a distinct breaks-style topography that contrasts with the flatter agricultural sections of the Nebraska panhandle.

A network of section-line roads, such as Co RD 40 and Carter Canyon RD, provides access to the interior, where Murray Lake and various smaller water bodies are clustered. To the south, Bull Canyon and Clay Springs Draw indicate the drainage patterns of the high plains. The transition between township boundaries like t21n r57w and t20n r58w illustrates the precise grid of the Public Land Survey System applied to this western environment.
