2011 Map of Ashby

About this map

Ashby anchors the southern portion of this Nebraska Sandhills landscape, situated along the corridor formed by Railroad Dr. This community-centric map reveals a pattern of dispersed ranching and natural hydrology characteristic of Grant County. Named landholdings such as Castle Ranch, Peterson Ranch, and Thurston Ranch are connected by a network of gravel and local roads, including Ashby Rd and Peterson Rd. The area is dotted with numerous small lakes and basins, with Knox Lake, Hibbler Lake, and Calkin Lake serving as prominent landmarks in the rolling terrain. Central to the local identity is the Ashby Post Office, providing a rare point of civic infrastructure in this sparsely populated cattle-country environment. The elevation is marked by features like Indian Hill, rising above the surrounding depressions and seasonal water bodies.
