2014 Map of Dunning NW

About this map

The Middle Loup River winds through the southwestern corner of this Sandhills landscape, marking a distinct transition from the rolling dune topography to the riparian corridor. This 2014 survey captures a section of the Nebraska National Forest, an area notable for being one of the largest hand-planted forests in the United States, established in the early 20th century. The land is largely defined by the characteristic geomorphology of the Nebraska Sandhills, with sparse road access limited to routes like Sandhills Rd and Sandy Ave. The map reflects the region's ranching and conservation character, showing the vast open spaces that have remained relatively unchanged in their basic structural layout over decades of land management by the U.S. Forest Service.
