The Samuel R McKelvie National Forest anchors this section of Cherry County, Nebraska, where the landscape is defined by the unique topography of the Sandhills. This 2021 survey reveals a region of expansive valleys, including Chamberlain Valley, Tombstone Valley, and the namesake Powderhorn Valley. The presence of the Lamson Cem near the southern boundary provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this sparsely settled area. Water resources are concentrated around the Lord Lakes and the drainage of Steer Cr to the north. Transportation in this ranching country is limited to specialized routes like the Powder Horn Ranch Rd and the 16 F to 97 Rd, reflecting the remote and rural character of the Nebraska panhandle’s grazing lands.
