About this map

Box Butte Creek meanders through the northwest corner of this Nebraska landscape, tracing a path near the Box Butte and Sheridan County line. This 2014 survey reveals an expansive agricultural and rangeland area defined by a precise grid of local roads and trails. The topography is marked by subtle depressions and rises, with Twin Lakes appearing in the southeast as a notable hydrological feature in an otherwise dry terrain.

Transportation in the region relies on a network of routes such as Co Road 53 and 330th Rd, which serve the large-scale farm and ranch plots typical of the High Plains. The map's contour lines illustrate the gradual elevation changes that direct the flow of intermittent waterways like Box Butte Cr. This detailed record captures the spatial organization of the Nebraska Panhandle in the early 21st century, showing how property boundaries and infrastructure are dictated by the underlying landforms.
