2011 Map of Bean Soup Lake

About this map

Winslow Valley and the surrounding ranchlands of Arthur County characterize this western Nebraska landscape in the early twenty-first century. The area is defined by a sparse network of family-operated holdings, including the Triangle Ranch and Kramer Ranch, connected by isolated routes such as Triangle Rd and Ellingrod Dr. This map documents a region where the high plains geography dictates a lifestyle centered on water and cattle, with natural features like Mechoalan Lake and Three Mile Lake serving as critical landmarks. Other significant agricultural properties, including the A Walz Ranch, B Ellingrod Ranch, and Threemile Ranch, further illustrate the enduring ranching economy of the Sandhills region.
