The High Plains of Box Butte County are defined here by a series of precise section-line roads and the branching drainage of Point of Rocks Cr. The rural character of the area is centered on School Number 7, situated along Keith Rd, serving a community organized by an extensive grid of county routes including Hayes Rd, Logan Rd, and Madison Rd. The landscape's intermittent water management is evident through the presence of Frost Reservoir and Luce Reservoir, which capture runoff in this semi-arid region. The map tracks the delicate hydrological network of the N Br Point of Rocks Cr and the S Br Point of Rocks Cr as they cut through the plateau. This 2014 survey documents the enduring agricultural structure of the Nebraska panhandle, where named roads and localized water features remain the primary landmarks for generations of residents.
