2014 Map of Old Baldy

About this map

The high plains of Nebraska near the Garden and Keith County line are defined by a rhythmic landscape of sandhills and drainage basins. Old Baldy rises as a prominent local landmark, overlooking a network of section-line roads and interior tracks that serve the region's ranching interests. These routes, such as Road 213 and Road 56, provide access to isolated rural landmarks like Fairview Cem, which stands as a quiet record of early homesteading history in the area. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by the presence of Lobner Reservoir and the winding course of Ash Cr. The map illustrates the 21st-century transition of traditional Nebraska rangeland, where modern water infrastructure and surveyed road networks integrate with the natural topography of the Platte River valley periphery.
