About this map

The Saline River winds through the southern reaches of this Lincoln County landscape, defining a valley where the settlements of Shady Bend and Quartzite were established. These small communities are situated along the river's northern banks, connected by local routes like Kale Ln and Kiowa Dr. The surrounding terrain is deeply dissected by a network of drainage systems, including the branching paths of Twelvemile Cr and Elkhorn Cr.

Up on the higher ground of the northern plains, Sunnyside Cem serves as a lone landmark amidst a strictly rectangular grid of section roads like N 215th Rd and 250th Rd. This 2022 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where land use remains primarily agricultural, punctuated only by these historic named locations and the natural courses of waterways like Beaver Cr and Brush Cr.
