2017 Map of Point of Rocks

About this map

Point of Rocks stands as the primary landmark in this western Nebraska landscape, characterized by the winding path of Lodgepole Cr through the high plains of Cheyenne County. The terrain is marked by significant ephemeral drainages, including Sidney Draw in the southeast and Sand Draw near the southern boundary, which reflect the region's semi-arid character and historical importance as natural corridors. Transport through this area is anchored by the State Hwy 17c (Link), which mirrors the valley's orientation. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid, with several townships like t14n r51w and t15n r52w defining the administrative and ranching boundaries. This layout illustrates the structured division of land that facilitated agricultural development and property ownership in the early 21st century.
