2021 Map of Flats

About this map

Flats represents a secluded node of human presence in the heart of the Sandhills region within McPherson County. This 2021 update documents the sparse road network that connects isolated ranching interests, where named routes like Pueppka Dr and Storer Rd cut through the distinctive undulating topography. The landscape is defined by its hydrography, specifically the collection of natural basins and lakes that anchor local property divisions. Water bodies such as Diamond Bar Lake, Little Diamond Bar Lake, and Schick Lake serve as the primary landmarks in an area where the grid of the Public Land Survey System—including t19n r35w and t18n r34w—provides the only formal structure across the vast reaches of the prairie. The alignment of Diamond Bar Rd and N Daly Rd illustrates the long-distance connectivity required for life in one of Nebraska's most sparsely populated counties.
