2017 Map of Newport SW

About this map

The headwaters of the Elkhorn River system dominate this part of Rock County, where the N Br Elkhorn River and S Fork Elkhorn River meander through a landscape defined by seasonal wetlands and high plains water bodies like Adams Lake. This 2017 survey illustrates the sparse, grid-like development of the Nebraska Sandhills, where long north-south corridors such as 450th Ave and Commodore Ave provide the primary access to isolated ranchlands. The mapping of small local routes like Buffalo Rd and Coyote Rd reflects the rural character of the region, where land use is dictated by the subtle drainage patterns and the township divisions across t30n r18w and surrounding sections.
