About this map

The high plains of southwest Nebraska are defined by the straight-line jurisdictional boundary of Chase Co Dundy Co, a division that marks the transition between Chase and Dundy Counties. This 2017 survey shows a landscape largely organized by the Public Land Survey System, where section lines dictate the placement of rural infrastructure such as Rd 726 and Rd 727. The area is sparsely populated, characterized by the undulating sand hills and seasonal wetlands common to this corner of the state.

Transportation through these agricultural lands is facilitated by a grid of gravel and dirt routes, including Haigler Rd and Cty Rd 724. These roads provide the primary access to the scattered farmsteads and ranching operations located within t4n r41w and surrounding townships. The map is a precise record of the modern rural Nebraskan interior, showing the persistent influence of 19th-century land partitioning on the contemporary landscape.
