2021 Map of South of Gabe Rock

About this map

Rocky Hollow cuts through the high plains of the Nebraska Panhandle, defining the central drainage of this sparsely populated landscape. The survey documents the high-altitude terrain at the border of Banner and Kimball Counties, a region defined by its vast section lines and long-distance county roads. The network of section-line routes, including Co Rd 14 and Co Rd 6, reveals a landscape organized for large-scale ranching and agriculture, where infrastructure is dictated by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. Modern transport is represented by the remote crossing of Co Rd 31 at the county line, while the southern boundary is anchored by Co Rd 54. This map provides a detailed view of the natural breaks and coulees that interrupt the plateau, offering a clear record of the rural land divisions and topographic relief in a quiet corner of the High Plains.
