About this map

Ellsworth serves as the central hub of this Nebraska Sandhills landscape, situated along Sheridan Rd where it intersects with local routes like 241 Trl. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of small, scattered water bodies characteristic of the region, including Black Lake, Haines Lake, and Shubert Lake. The lack of dense residential development reflects the ranching and agricultural nature of the area, with land partitioned into large sections such as those in T24N R43W.

Near the southern boundary where Sheridan Co Garden Co meet, more secluded waters like Carey Lake and Moore Lake dot the map. These features, along with Merritt Lake and Rasberg Lake, highlight a specialized hydrology that has historically supported local cattle operations. The presence of Rd 187 and other section-line roads provides a clear picture of the modern infrastructure used to navigate this sparsely populated prairie environment.
