2017 Map of Applegate Ranch

About this map

Applegate Ranch serves as a lonely landmark in this high plains landscape of Lincoln County, Nebraska. This 2017 survey details a region defined by extensive sand hills and grazing land, where human infrastructure is sparse and tied primarily to ranching operations. The northern edge of the sheet is marked by the winding path of W Birdwood Cr, a vital water source in this semi-arid environment. Running north to south through the undulating terrain, N Prairie Trace Rd provides the primary transit corridor, cutting through the public land survey divisions of t16n r34w, t16n r33w, t15n r34w, and t15n r33w. This map captures the persistent character of Nebraska's ranching country, showing how modern land management follows the same sectional lines established generations ago.
