About this map

Bull Canyon and Long Canyon carve through the high plains of Banner County, Nebraska, in this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage patterns and dramatic elevation shifts, most notably at Clay Springs Draw. This region of the Nebraska Panhandle is sparsely populated, with a grid of county roads providing the primary access through the terrain. A network of routes including CR-30, RD 15, and CR-15 connect the various draws and canyon rims, reflecting a modern land use centered on ranching and large-scale agricultural movement. The intricate contour lines illustrate the complex erosional features that characterize this portion of the High Plains, where the flat tablelands are abruptly interrupted by the branching arms of the canyon systems.
