2017 Map of Wauneta SW

About this map

Muddy Creek carves a distinctive path through this section of Southwest Nebraska, where the high plains terrain meets the Chase County and Dundy County border. The landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural routes, reflecting a history of dryland farming and ranching development. A central landmark for local history and genealogy is Mount Zion Cemetery, situated near the intersection of Ave 343 and RD 724. The map illustrates the sophisticated network of township roads, including named thoroughfares like Neighborhood Road and Max-Wauneta Road, which link the isolated farmsteads of the high prairie. The sharp relief shown along the creek bed contrasts with the level upland plateaus, providing a clear picture of the region's physical geography in the early twenty-first century.
