1987 Map of Rose Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Isolated ranches define the high plains of Cherry County in this mid-1980s provisional survey. The landscape is dominated by the intricate topography of the Nebraska Sandhills, where family operations like the Simonson and Lowe Ranch and the Jim Miller Ranch manage vast grazing lands. The hydrology of the region is centered on natural depressions that form bodies of water such as Swan Lake and Conway Lake, which provide essential resources in an otherwise semi-arid environment. Low-lying corridors like Rose Valley and Calf Creek Valley dictate the placement of unimproved roads and property boundaries, tracing the natural contours of the land. Landmarks such as Giant Hill rise above the surrounding dunes, serving as orientation points for local ranchers and land managers navigating the expansive, open terrain between Calf Creek and the surrounding basins.
