2017 Map of Ashby

About this map

The unincorporated community of Ashby sits along the southern edge of this map, situated in the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills. The landscape is defined by the unique topography of Larkin Valley and prominent elevations such as Indian Hill. This region is characterized by numerous small water bodies tucked between the rolling dunes, including Knox Lake, Hibbler Lake, and Calkin Lake. The map illustrates the boundary between Cherry Co and Grant Co, showing how local infrastructure like Railroad Dr and Ashby Rd navigates the undulating terrain. A network of rural routes, including Peterson Rd and Brennemann Rd, connects isolated ranching properties, reflecting the sparse settlement patterns essential to the area's cattle-ranching economy during this era.
