About this map

Old Homestead Rd and Trumbull Rd snake through the sand hills of the Nebraska Panhandle, where McPherson, Thomas, and Logan counties converge. This 2017 U.S. Geological Survey study documents a sparsely populated landscape defined by section lines and private ranch roads rather than traditional town centers. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with townships such as t20n r29w and t21n r30w providing the primary geographic framework for the region's vast rangelands.

Local naming conventions, seen in labels like Starr Dr, Fietchner Rd, and Lutes Rd, suggest a legacy of family-owned holdings and individual homesteads. The lack of concentrated settlements or industrial features underscores the enduring agricultural character of this portion of the Sandhills, where the economy remains tied to the terrain and the road network provides the only link between isolated homesteads.
