2014 Map of Wayside

About this map

Wayside stands as the primary namesake settlement in this northern Nebraska landscape, situated near the prominent landform of Wayside Butte. The area is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Bohemian Cr, Rush Cr, and Lone Tree Cr, which carve through the terrain of Dawes County. The spatial layout of the region is anchored by Us-385, which cuts diagonally across the northern portion, while local routes like Stewart Rd and Airport Rd provide access to the interior grazing lands. This 2014 survey illustrates the persistence of rural cattle country, where the geography is organized around named waterways such as Bull Cr and Peterson Cr rather than dense urban development, preserving a pattern of land use that has characterized the High Plains for generations.
