2021 Map of Nonpareil

About this map

Nonpareil stands as a focal point in this portion of Box Butte County, where the High Plains landscape is defined by a systematic grid of section lines and intermittent watercourses. The local hydrology is dominated by the drainage patterns of Hemingford Cr in the north and the various branches of Point of Rocks Cr to the south. A significant local landmark, Phillips Reservoir, provides a reliable water source in an area otherwise characterized by ephemeral streams. The map reveals a strictly organized rural infrastructure, with roads like Cass Rd, Dodge Rd, and Gage Rd following the Public Land Survey System boundaries. This layout reflects the enduring influence of early twentieth-century land division on the modern Nebraska ranching and agricultural landscape.
