2014 Map of Wildcat Mountain

About this map

Wildcat Hills dominate the terrain of the Nebraska Panhandle south of the North Platte River, as documented in this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by the prominent Wildcat Mtn and Hogback Mtn, along with the distinctive Funnel Rock. This area serves as a critical junction for water management, featuring a string of reservoirs including Gering Valley Reservoir A, B, C, and D, which are fed by the Fort Laramie Canal. The geography transitions from the elevated ridges near Dooley Canyon down to the drainage basin of Pumpkin Cr, where Scott Reservoir and Airdale Reservoir Number 1 support the regional ranching and agricultural economy. The boundary between Scotts Bluff Co and Banner Co bisects the quadrangle, illustrating how these high-plains landforms shaped local political lines.
