2014 Map of Spalding NW

About this map

The Cedar River meanders across this rural landscape at the junction of Wheeler Co and Greeley Co, cutting a distinct path through the Nebraska sandhills. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road network, where routes like Three Mile Rd and 817th Rd traverse the undulating terrain. A significant geographic transition is visible where the riparian corridor of the river breaks the geometric regularity of the surrounding plains. In the southern portion of the sheet, Freeman Cr drains into the larger river system, providing a secondary water source for the isolated farmsteads connected by Ne-91. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of the area's agricultural layout and its reliance on these natural watercourses for land division and local navigation, including more modern access points like College Inn Rd.
