2011 Map of Farm Flat

About this map

Doughboy and the surrounding ranching country of Cherry County define this 2011 survey of the Nebraska Sandhills. The landscape is characterized by expansive plateau-like features such as Farm Flat, Enscow Flat, and School Section Flat, which are interspersed with deep valleys and drainages. The Snake River meanders across the northern portion of the map, carving through the terrain near Horseshoe Bend Pond. To the south, the waters of Boardman Creek and Gordon Creek wind through the hills, supporting local life at the Three Bar Ranch and McMurty Ranch. This map illustrates the sparse settlement patterns of the region, where named landmarks often center on essential water sources like Lake John and Badger Lake or distinct topographical depressions such as Peterson Valley and Grove Valley.
