2015 Map of Shady Bend

About this map

The Saline River meanders across the southern plains of Lincoln County, defining the local geography around the small community of Shady Bend. This rural landscape is shaped by the intricate drainage systems of several significant tributaries, including Twelvemile Cr and Beaver Cr. The settlement of Quartzite sits further west, while the uplands are marked by the presence of Sunnyside Cem, a vital site for genealogical research in this sparsely populated agricultural region. The land is neatly partitioned by a grid of rural routes such as Navajo Rd and 260th Rd, reflecting the enduring township and range system. Significant watercourses like Elkhorn Cr and Brush Cr provide the primary relief in a terrain otherwise dedicated to vast open fields and sections.
