2021 Map of Dismal River Ranch NE

About this map

Hooker County terrain in central Nebraska is defined by the complex topography of the Sand Hills, where elevation contours reveal a landscape of repeating ridges and depressions. This 2021 survey focuses on the vast rangelands of the Dismal River Ranch NE quadrangle, an area structured by the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) across several townships. The map provides a precise layout of the grids for T23N R33W, T23N R32W, T22N R33W, and T22N R32W, showing the boundary lines that have defined property and land use in this part of the Great Plains for generations. While primarily undeveloped, the map traces the subtle paths of local roads and fences that navigate the interdunal valleys, characteristic of the cattle-ranching operations that dominate this remote Nebraska landscape.
