2014 Map of University Lake NE

About this map

S Br Snake Cr winds through the high plains of Sioux County, marking the primary drainage in this sparsely populated region of western Nebraska. The landscape is defined by its subtle topographic relief and a sparse network of section-line roads, such as Morrill Rd and Watson Rd, which provide access to large ranching parcels and agricultural tracts. This 2014 survey reveals a territory where the natural contours of the land dictate movement, with Henderson Rd skirting the southern boundary of the quadrangle. The map is a record of land management in Sheep Creek Precinct, where the grid of human travel meets the irregular paths of ephemeral waterways in a landscape largely unchanged by modern development.
