About this map

Lincoln County cattle country and the undulating sandhills of western Nebraska define this landscape south of the Platte River valley. The terrain is marked by a complex network of depressions and ridges, typical of this semi-arid region where water and land management are critical to local life. Local access is maintained through a grid of rural routes including S Miller School Rd in the northeast and Swanson Rd further south. These roads, along with W Frederick Rd and Morse Rd, serve as the primary lifelines for the sprawling ranching operations that occupy the sections of t12n r32w and t11n r31w. The map preserves the specific township and range boundaries that have governed Nebraska land ownership since the original homesteading era.
