2017 Map of Palisade NE

About this map

Union Mission Cem sits on a high point overlooking the rolling divides of Hayes County, marking a localized pocket of settlement in this agricultural landscape. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Blackwood Cr, which cuts through the northern and eastern portions of the map, carving out significant landforms such as Government Canyon and Fish Canyon. This 2017 survey reveals a rural network of section-line roads including Ave 359 and Rd 732, which facilitate movement between isolated homesteads and ranching operations. The presence of Smith Reservoir in the southwestern quadrant highlights the critical role of water management and irrigation in maintaining the productivity of these Nebraska plains. The map reflects a persistent pattern of rural life where legacy names and small-scale infrastructure remain the primary markers of human activity.
