2011 Map of Young Valley

About this map

Young Valley defines the heart of this Garden County landscape, where the topography is primarily characterized by a series of distinct valleys named for local families and early settlers. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a rural Nebraska environment dominated by these named depressions, including Warneke Valley and Sophia Valley in the north, and Keenan Valley and Robb Valley to the south. The road network is sparse, with routes like Bingham Rd and Road 199 providing the primary access through the terrain. The prevalence of named features such as Black Steer Valley and Lost Bull Valley suggests a history tied closely to ranching and land use, where specific topographical landmarks were essential for navigation and property identification in an open landscape.
