2014 Map of Tilden NE

About this map

The agricultural plains along the Antelope and Pierce County line are defined by a rhythmic grid of section-line roads and the wandering course of Willow Creek. This 2014 survey captures a landscape of intense rural organization, where the topography gently rises away from the creek bottom toward 1,850-foot elevations in the southwest. The drainage pattern of Willow Creek cuts diagonally across the northern half of the sheet, providing the only natural break in the strictly surveyed network of routes like 855th Rd and 535th Ave. For those studying the evolution of Nebraska farmsteads, the map's detailed contour lines and modern road labeling offer a precise record of how these two counties managed the high plains terrain into the twenty-first century.
