2011 Map of Brush Hill

About this map

The North Loup River winds through this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, carving a distinct path across a landscape defined by ranching and hydrology. Large cattle operations such as Boyer Ranch, Howarth Ranch, and the Sherman Ranch indicate the enduring agricultural heritage of Cherry County. These holdings are positioned near water sources like Green Lake, which provides a focal point in the upper portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the relationship between the river valley and the scattered upland outposts like the Clair Carpenter Ranch, showing how the natural drainage of the North Loup River dictates the placement of roads and homesteads in this sparsely populated region.
