2014 Map of Rushville NE

About this map

Niobrara River flows through the southern reaches of this Sheridan County landscape, where the high plains of northern Nebraska meet complex drainage systems. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably around Lone Butte and the winding course of Rush Cr. A strictly organized grid of rural roads, including 610th Rd and 250th Ln, provides access across the open country, while Us-20 clips the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. Significant erosional features like Sand Draw demonstrate the local geological character, illustrating how water has shaped the sandy soils of this region over time. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural landscape in the decade following the turn of the millennium.
