2014 Map of Spring Valley

About this map

Spring Valley Lake sits as a prominent landmark within the undulating terrain of Grant County, where the Sandhills landscape is defined by a series of distinct valleys. This 2014 survey documents the geographic character of the region, anchored by named depressions such as Handlin Valley to the north and the expansive Spring Valley at its center. The presence of Brooking Valley and Rothwell Valley suggests a history of land use tied to these specific topographical catchments, where water and shelter are traditionally sought. Connectivity through this sparse environment is maintained by Ne-61, which cuts a north-south path across the western portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a land predominantly shaped by natural contours, with very limited human infrastructure beyond the primary highway and scattered section lines.
