2017 Map of Dunning NW

About this map

Middle Loup River winds through the southwestern corner of this landscape, carving a rare riparian corridor through the characteristic dune formations of Blaine County. This 2017 survey reveals an area largely defined by the expansive Nebraska National Forest, where the terrain is dominated by a dense pattern of north-northwest to south-southeast trending ridgelines. These geographic features reflect the undulating topography of the sandhills, where water is the primary sculptor of the local economy and ecology. Transport is restricted to a sparse network of section-line tracks and local routes such as Sandy Ave and Sandhills Dr, which navigate the depressions between the stabilized dunes. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system, including t23n r25w, illustrating the late-modern land management patterns in this portion of the Great Plains.
