About this map

Cedar River meanders across this rural Nebraska landscape, defining the topography of the northwestern reaches of Greeley County. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage patterns feeding into the main river and its tributaries, including Freeman Cr and Troy Cr. This area, surveyed recently, preserves the rectilinear grid of the Public Land Survey System, which remains the primary framework for local travel and land division.

Modern local transport is facilitated by a network of numbered rural roads such as 822nd Rd and 815th Rd. Distinctive local landmarks like College Inn Rd and Three Mile Rd indicate the enduring placement of homesteads and agricultural corridors. The boundary between Wheeler and Greeley Counties is clearly demarcated, showing how political divisions align with the section lines of the Sandhills transition zone.
