2021 Map of Powderhorn Valley SW

About this map

The Snake River winds across the northern landscape of this Cherry County territory, a remote stretch of Nebraska's sandhills characterized by shallow valley systems and intermittent watercourses. In the central portion of the sheet, Grove Valley provides a distinct geographical pocket near the headwaters of Boardman Cr, while further south, the land yields to the broad expanses of Big Dry Valley. The hydraulic network is defined by seasonal drainages such as Gordon Cr and Dry Cr, which carve subtle depressions through the township lines. A single crossing at Webster Bridge over the river serves as a primary reference point for navigation in this sparsely populated cattle country. The map detail reflects a landscape of sprawling ranchland where natural topographic features and township boundaries remain the most significant landmarks for local history and property research.
