2017 Map of Well Valley

About this map

Well Valley and Dwire Valley characterize the undulating terrain of Garden County in this modern 2017 study. The landscape is defined by its dramatic depressions and natural basins, typical of the Nebraska Sandhills, where water bodies like Ward Lake provide vital resources in an otherwise arid grazing environment. In the southern portion of the sheet, Green Valley sits near a network of local corridors including Rd 100 and Rd 193, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, showing how contemporary infrastructure like Rd 217 continues to navigate the complex topography and ranching boundaries established generations ago.
