About this map

The rolling hills of Garden County dominate this landscape, characterized by the prominent terrain feature Old Baldy. This western Nebraska terrain is sparsely developed, with a network of rural roads such as Rd 60 and Rd 213 providing the primary grid for the region's agricultural and ranching operations. The southern edge of the survey marks the county line between Garden Co and Keith Co, illustrating the administrative boundaries that define this part of the High Plains.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Fairview Cem situated near the intersection of several local routes. Water features are limited in this arid environment, though Ash Cr appears in the southwestern portion of the sheet. The map documents the vast, open character of the Nebraska sandhills region before it transitions into the North Platte River valley further south.
