2014 Map of Sand Canyon East

About this map

The Antelope Valley Cem serves as a quiet marker of early settlement in this corner of Dawes County, located just north of the Prairie Home Rd corridor. This portion of the High Plains landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Sand Canyon and Pepper Creek Rd, which carve through the terrain before meeting the flatter agricultural stretches to the east. Water management remains central to the region's character, evidenced by the presence of the Mirage Flats Reservoir and Houtson Reservoir. A network of section-line roads, including Long Rd, Kundra Rd, and Hughbanks Rd, reveals the enduring grid of the Nebraska panhandle’s rural ranching and farming infrastructure. The boundary between Dawes and Sheridan Counties bisects the eastern portion of the sheet, highlighting the jurisdictional divide in this sparsely populated agricultural area.
