2014 Map of Buske Ranch

About this map

Buske Ranch sits within a landscape defined by the expansive cattle-ranching traditions of Garden County. This 2014 survey documents a vast section of Nebraska’s high plains, where the terrain is lightly marked by intermittent water sources like Coldwater Cr. In the southern reaches of the map, the Lisco Canal indicates the importance of managed water systems for agriculture in this arid environment. The map shows a meticulous grid of rural roads, including Road 80 and Road 155, which serve as the primary lifelines for the remote ranching operations. The sparsity of the built environment emphasizes the massive scale of individual land holdings in this part of the Sandhills, where human presence is clustered around the central ranch and the essential irrigation infrastructure to the south.
