About this map

Middle Loup River meanders through the southwestern corner of this Nebraska landscape, cutting across a terrain defined by the sweeping sandhills of the Great Plains. The boundary between Cherry Co and Thomas Co bisects the northern half of the region, marking a sparsely settled area where the landscape is largely shaped by natural hydrology and township divisions. The map highlights the vast, unpaved character of the Sandhills region in the early 21st century, illustrating the traditional section lines of the Public Land Survey System that govern this portion of the state. This survey serves as a clear record of the river's path and the administrative lines of T24n R29w and T25n R29w in a remote part of the Nebraska interior.
