2014 Map of Dismal River Ranch SW

About this map

N Fork Dismal River and S Fork Dismal River define the hydrography of this Hooker County landscape, cutting across the expansive Sandhills terrain. The 2014 survey reveals the characteristic drainage patterns of the region, where the two forks of the river flow roughly parallel toward the east. Between these major watercourses, the land is characterized by numerous depressions and rising dunes, with Spring Cr feeding into the southern fork near the eastern boundary. This map serves as a primary record of the modern water table and land forms in this sparsely populated portion of Nebraska, showing the exact paths of the river channels through the shifting dune topography.
