2014 Map of Dismal River Ranch NE

About this map

Sandhills terrain dominates this Hooker County landscape, characterized by a complex network of dunes and depressions typical of central Nebraska. The primary human imprint on this expansive topographic study is Ne-97, a state highway that snakes North-to-South through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Aside from this transport corridor, the map reveals a largely undeveloped region where the intricate contour lines describe a high density of natural relief. The lack of named settlements or civic structures highlights the open, ranch-oriented nature of the territory during this period of the early twenty-first century.
