2021 Map of Old Baldy

About this map

Old Baldy rises above a sparse, high-plains landscape in this western Nebraska survey, marking the topography of northern Garden County. The terrain is characterized by rolling hills and intermittent drainages, with Ash Creek cutting through the northern reaches. This 2021 edition illustrates a traditional ranching environment defined more by its open spaces and section lines than by dense settlement. Human activity is evidenced by a systematic network of rural routes such as Rd 215 and Rd 60. A singular site of historical and genealogical significance, Fairview Cem, sits centrally along Rd 56, serving as a quiet landmark for the local community. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the political boundary of Keith County meets the panhandle, providing a clear view of the jurisdictional divisions in this cattle-country region.
