2014 Map of Sunol

About this map

Sunol and Colton anchor the southern corridor of this Western Nebraska landscape, where the valley of Lodgepole Creek serves as the primary artery for transportation and settlement. The map reveals a distinct transition between the high, dry tablelands of the Cheyenne County plains and the riparian environment of the creek. This vital watercourse, labeled as both Lodgepole Creek and Lodgepole Cr, parallels the historical path of the Union Pacific Railroad and Us-30, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on the natural valley for east-west movement. Above the valley, a sparse network of section-line roads, including Road 127 and Road 135, carves the plateau into a grid typical of the Great Plains' agricultural development. The presence of the Ne-17e-Link highlights the area's continued integration into modern highway systems while maintaining its rural character.
