2017 Map of Powderhorn Valley
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Samuel R McKelvie National Forest dominates this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape defined by its distinctive dune formations and interdunal valleys. These low-lying areas, including Powderhorn Valley, Chamberlain Valley, and Tombstone Valley, served as the primary conduits for settlement and ranching activities. Water is a critical resource in this arid environment, evidenced by Steer Cr and the Lord Lakes, which provide vital hydration for the region's livestock. Human presence is sparsely marked but deeply rooted, with small local landmarks such as Lamson Cem and Larson Cem tucked into the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Access to these remote ranching lands is provided by State Hwy Spur 16F and maintained routes like Powder Horn Ranch Rd, illustrating the persistence of rural life in Cherry County.
