1987 Map of Brush Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Isolated ranchsteads and the winding course of the North Loup River define this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills during the late 1980s. The landscape is primarily shaped by natural depressions and rises, such as Big Dry Valley and the distinctive Brush Hill, reflecting the characteristic topography of Cherry County. Settlement is sparse and centered on established family operations, including the Boyer Ranch and the Clair Carpenter Ranch. These locations, along with Howarth Ranch and Sherman Ranch, illustrate the enduring cattle ranching heritage that has anchored this region for generations. The presence of Green Lake suggests a localized water source amidst the surrounding terrain, which is dominated by sections and townships surveyed under the Public Land Survey System.
