Box Butte

The terrain of Box Butte ranges from open High Plains grassland on its lower flanks to a flat-topped summit at its crest, creating an isolated landmark against Nebraska Panhandle horizons. The butte lies in Box Butte County, northwest of Alliance, in a part of the Great Plains shaped by ranching, farming, and long distances between settlements. The Nebraska Sandhills lie nearby, forming a vast belt of grass-stabilized dunes across central and western Nebraska. Alliance is known for Carhenge, a 1987 monument that arranges vintage automobiles in the form of England’s Stonehenge. Box Butte gave the county its name and remains a geographic reference point in this open country. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Box Butte.
