About this map

The South Platte River cuts across the northern edge of this 2011 landscape, marking the southern expansion of Ogallala into the High Plains. This area reflects a transition from the urban fringes of the county seat into a strictly organized agricultural grid, where the Keith County Fairgrounds serves as a bridge between town and country. Transportation routes dominate the northern corridor, with the modern paths of Stagecoach Trl and Old Hwy 61 S following the historical logic of the Platte Valley.

South of the river, the terrain softens into Happy Hollow, where the landscape is punctuated by aviation landmarks like Allen Airport and Cornelius Field. The map records a mix of local infrastructure and recreational sites, including the Meyer Camper Court and Gold Dust Campground. This detailed survey preserves the precise alignment of the region's rural roads, from Tressler Rd to the numbered grids that define Nebraska's farming heartland.
