About this map

The boundary between Rock and Holt counties divides this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and cattle country infrastructure. In the northeast, MMK Reservoir Number 1 serves as a significant water resource near Beaver Cr, while the natural depression of Cedar Gulch cuts through the high ground. The terrain is characterized by a sparse network of section roads like Bobcat Rd and 468th Ave that navigate the varied elevations. Intermittent watercourses including Otter Cr and Ash Cr mark the drainage patterns of this sparsely populated ranching region, reflecting the rural character of northern Nebraska in the early twenty-first century.
