2017 Map of Almeria SW

About this map

The county line between Blaine Co and Loup Co bisects this remote Nebraska landscape, dominated by the undulating terrain of the Sandhills. A sparse network of rural routes, including Knobby Ridge Rd and Dog Leg Rd, navigates the complex topography where level ground is a rare commodity. This 2017 survey reveals the isolation and specific land-use patterns of the region, where the Mc Millan Ranch Airport serves as a vital connection point for large ranching operations. To the northeast, the terrain opens into Dry Valley, a landform that dictates the placement of roads like Dry Valley Rd and 830th Rd. The map illustrates how section lines and range coordinates, such as t22n r21w, organize this expansive territory where the environment remains the primary architect of human movement and settlement.
