2021 Map of Rushville NE

About this map

Lone Butte stands as a prominent topographical anchor in this section of Sheridan County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Rush Cr and Sand Draw. The 2021 survey reveals a disciplined grid of rural section-line roads, such as Cemetery Rd and 580th Rd, which carve the prairie into traditional agricultural blocks. This region, documented within townships T31N and T32N, illustrates the persistent layout of the High Plains, where water sources like Rush Cr dictate the orientation of land use. The presence of Cemetery Rd suggests a proximity to localized family or community history centers, even in a sparsely populated environment. Researchers can observe the subtle elevation changes that distinguish the butte from the surrounding drainages, providing a clear picture of the Nebraska panhandle's geography in the early 21st century.
