2014 Map of Palisade NE

About this map

Union Mission Cem sits in the southwestern corner of this Hayes County landscape, a key landmark for genealogists and local historians tracing early prairie settlement. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Blackwood Cr and the drainage patterns that have carved Government Canyon and Fish Canyon into the high plains. In the lower reaches of the map, the Smith Reservoir provides a localized water source within a predominantly agricultural grid. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of the section-line road system, with routes such as Road 736 and Avenue 363 providing the primary framework for movement through this rural Nebraska interior, where the topography transitions from flat plateaus to deeply etched draws.
