2014 Map of Nonpareil

About this map

Nonpareil serves as the primary named settlement in this pocket of the Nebraska Panhandle, situated within a landscape defined by an extensive network of ephemeral drainages and section roads. The topography is shaped by the winding courses of Hemingford Cr and the multiple branches of Point of Rocks Cr, which together form the primary hydrological pattern of the area. Man-made water management is evident at Phillips Reservoir, located near the intersection of CR-78 and Franklin Rd. The map illustrates a strictly organized agricultural grid, with arterial routes like Dodge Rd and Cass Rd providing the framework for rural life. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial layout of Box Butte County, showing how modern county roads continue to follow the historic township and range lines established during the region's initial settlement.
