2017 Map of Suttlers Canyon West

About this map

Suttlers Canyon and the surrounding high plains of the Nebraska sandhills dominate this landscape near the boundary of Lincoln and Hayes counties. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by Red Willow Cr in the northeast and Little Blackwood Cr to the southwest, which feeds into Scott Reservoir. This area is characterized by a sparse, regular grid of section roads and cattle-country tracks, such as Prairie Trace Rd and the uniquely named Arrow Mile Shoe. The layout of the land reflects the late 20th-century ranching and water management infrastructure, where scattered stock ponds and reservoirs are critical to the local economy. Navigating this terrain requires following established corridors like Burma Rd or Gibson RD, which cut through the undulating hills between ephemeral stream beds.
