2021 Map of Palisade SW

About this map

The Pleasant Ridge Cem sits on a plateau overlooking the drainage of Bobtail Cr and Camp Cr in this portion of southwestern Nebraska. The terrain is defined by deeply incised draws and canyons, most notably Dry Canyon, which cut through the high plains landscape between the Hayes County and Hitchcock County border. The map illustrates a strictly rural section of the state, where the section-line road network, including Hayes Co Co Line Rd and Veterans Memorial Hwy, provides the primary structure for the agricultural landscape. The presence of the Kroster-Rice Reservoir in the northern reaches indicates the critical importance of water management in this arid region, where intermittent creeks and natural reservoirs are vital for livestock and local irrigation.
