2017 Map of Potter

About this map

Potter sits as the central hub of this High Plains landscape, where the local grid includes historic thoroughfares like Front St and Sherman St. The village is situated along the course of Lodgepole Creek, a vital water source in this semi-arid region of western Nebraska. Just south of the main settlement, the Potter Community Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogical research, while the surrounding terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Sand Draw and the Willoughby Reservoir. The map reveals a transition from the organized street blocks of the town to the broad section lines of the Cheyenne County countryside, intersected by a network of rural routes such as Cheyenne Co Rd. This layout illustrates the enduring reliance on the creek valley for transportation and settlement in a landscape dominated by agricultural divisions.
