About this map

Sidney Draw cuts through the High Plains landscape of this borderlands region, where the Nebraska-Colorado state line marks the southern boundary of Kimball County. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the rigid geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t13n r54w and t12n r53w defining the vast agricultural tracts. The terrain is characterized by subtle drainage patterns and a sprawling network of section-line roads, including Co Rd 18 and Co Rd 59, which facilitate movement across this sparsely populated ranching and farming territory. The transition between the Nebraska panhandle and Colorado's Logan County is delineated along the base of the sheet, where the local road network shifts slightly at Rd 2.
