2014 Map of North Valley

About this map

Snake River meanders across the central portion of this Cherry County landscape, carving a distinct corridor through the Nebraska sandhills. The area is defined by its topographic depressions and drainage basins, most notably North Valley and Tennessee Valley in the western and southern reaches. To the south, Willow Valley follows the course of Willow Cr, which flows eastward toward its junction with Clifford Cr. This 2014 survey illustrates the sparse, high-plains geography of north-central Nebraska, where water resources like the river and small creeks dictate the layout of the land. The map provides a detailed view of the natural contours and hydrologic patterns of this quiet, undeveloped section of the state, centered on the primary drainage systems that have shaped the local terrain over time.
