About this map

Box Elder Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon dominate the topography of this Lincoln County landscape, showing a deeply incised drainage system typical of the Nebraska Loess Hills. These landforms dictate the local transportation network, with routes like S Box Elder Canyon Rd and S Cottonwood Canyon Rd following the natural floor of the canyons rather than the higher ridgelines. The absence of traditional town sites highlights the area's primary use for ranching and agriculture, where the land is divided into large sections such as t12n r29w and t11n r28w. Geologists and local historians can trace the intricate erosional patterns of Cut Canyon and the surrounding draws that feed into these major drainages, providing a detailed look at the physical geography of the Great Plains in the early twenty-first century.
