1947 Map of Dismal River Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Dismal River Ranch sits at the confluence where the North Fork Dismal River and the South Fork Dismal River meet to form the main stem of the Dismal River. This 1940s landscape in Hooker County is defined by the sparse, wide-open grazing lands of the Nebraska Sandhills, where water management is the primary driver of settlement and survival. The map reveals a high density of windmills scattered across the section lines, indicating the critical reliance on groundwater for cattle ranching in this semi-arid region.
