About this map

The Horsehead Cr drainage basin defines this corner of Dawes County, Nebraska, where the landscape transitions into the high plains of the South Dakota borderlands. The 2012 topography shows a predominantly rural and agricultural environment, characterized by an intricate network of intermittent stream beds and prairie drainages. Significant waterways include the S Fork Blacktail Cr and Slim Butte Cr, which carve through the terrain east of US Route 385.

Transportation through this ranching country is anchored by a system of county roads and forest service routes, including Co Hwy 5 and Co Hwy-4C. A notable localized landmark is the Bogner No II Airport, a private airfield situated near the upper reaches of Horsehead Cr. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting this remote section of the Nebraska panhandle, from stock ponds to the winding paths of Bee Cr.
