2017 Map of Dismal River Ranch

About this map

The Dismal River Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, situated where the terrain is defined by the convergence of the N Fork Dismal River and the S Fork Dismal River. The hydrologic pattern is characteristic of this region, featuring the winding main stem of the Dismal River and the smaller Spring Cr cutting through the upland topography. Transportation in this sparsely settled area is limited to a few named routes such as Riverside Dr and Muledeer Rd, reflecting the ranching-based economy of Hooker County. The map provides a clear look at the land division system within townships including t22n r32w and t21n r33w, illustrating the vast, open nature of the Nebraska interior during the early 21st century.
