2009 Map of Norton NE

About this map

Sheley Cemetery sits near the center of this rural landscape in Norton County, reflecting the long-standing agricultural roots of the region. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Prairie Dog Creek as it moves through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, joined by smaller tributaries like Spring Branch. A strictly organized grid of local roads, such as RD E 4 and RD C, provides access to the surrounding farmsteads and fields. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a snapshot of the High Plains before modern developments might have altered these traditional section lines and watercourses.
