2014 Map of Purdum SW

About this map

Sandhills topography and the jurisdictional boundary between Cherry Co and Thomas Co characterize this segment of the Nebraska plains. The terrain is defined by a dense and intricate pattern of dunes and depressions, typical of the central Nebraska ranching country. While human-named landmarks are sparse on this specific quadrangle, the precise elevation contours trace the complex relief of the land as it existed in the early twenty-first century. The line separating Cherry Co to the north from Thomas Co to the south provides a clear reference for researchers studying regional property lines and administrative divisions in this sparsely populated interior.
