2022 Map of Sleeping Bear Creek NW

About this map

The water-carved landscape of eastern Harper County is defined by the dendritic drainage of Sand Cr and its northern tributaries. This high-plains terrain is marked by a network of sectional roads and localized water management features, including the Selman Gp1 Reservoir and Kinney 5 Reservoir. These man-made reservoirs indicate the importance of water storage in this ranching and agricultural region. Genealogy interest centers on the southeast corner of the map, where the Fern Cem sits near the junction of Ew-24-RD and n2040 RD. The survey illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t26n r21w organizing the rural topography into a clear grid of section lines that govern the modern road network.
