About this map

Lodgepole Creek meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, carving a valley that has historically served as a vital transportation corridor through Cheyenne County. The settlements of Sunol and Colton are positioned along this waterway, aligned with the regional rail and road infrastructure that follows the creek’s path. The northern two-thirds of the area are defined by an orderly grid of section lines, including Road 34 and Road 125, which organize the agricultural upland.

In the southeast corner, the Odaniel Dam represents a localized water management feature amidst the network of intermittent drainages that feed into the main creek bed. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern rural layout where primary habitation and movement remain concentrated near the water source, while the surrounding high plains are partitioned into large-scale parcels typical of the Nebraska panhandle.
