About this map

The high plains intersection of Chase, Hayes, Dundy, and Hitchcock counties dominates this landscape, defined by deep drainage systems and a rigid section-line road grid. The northern portion is characterized by the rugged dissection of Sand Canyon and Horse Canyon, while the southern reaches contain the headwaters of E Muddy Cr. These canyon systems provide the primary topographical relief in an otherwise strictly surveyed agricultural region.

A network of local routes, including Co Line Rd, Avenue 348, and Rea Rd, trace the boundaries of these four Nebraska counties. Farther south, the terrain drops into Milken Canyon and Hay Canyon, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of this corner of the state where the tableland meets the Republican River watershed. The map records the precise alignment of county lines and local infrastructure just after the turn of the 21st century.
