2017 Map of Norden NW

About this map

The state line between South Dakota and Nebraska bisects this quadrangle, where the high plains of Todd County meet the sandhills of Cherry County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including the meandering path of Shadley Cr in the northeast and the upper reaches of Coleman Cr and Club Cr to the south. This area represents a sparsely populated transition zone between the northern plains and the Nebraska sandhills, with land partitioned by the Public Land Survey System as seen in the grids of Township 35 North, Range 25 West and Township 34 North, Range 24 West. For genealogists and local historians, the Sparks Cem stands as a primary landmark in the western portion of the map, serving the small rural community in this cross-border region.
