About this map

The settlement of Ashby serves as the focal point of this Sandhills landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. In the late 1980s, the area's geography was defined by large cattle operations and a high density of alkali and freshwater basins, such as Hibbler Lake, Knox Lake, and Calkin Lake. The presence of several named homesteads, including Thurston Ranch, Peterson Ranch, and Castle Ranch, indicates the enduring ranching economy that shaped this portion of the Nebraska panhandle. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of dunes and valleys, with landmarks like Indian Hill and the broad Larkin Valley providing navigation points across the shifting landscape. Water features like the Mid Br Loop R and Castle Lake underscore the hydrological diversity of the region, which straddles the boundary between Cherry County and Grant County.
