2011 Map of Gragg Ranch

About this map

The vast Nebraska sandhills of Lincoln County define the landscape of this 2011 survey, where large-scale ranching remains the primary footprint of human settlement. The territory is marked by significant properties including Stoddard Ranch in the northwest and Gragg Ranch further south. These family-named landholdings represent the enduring ranching economy of the Great Plains, where wide-open grazing lands are connected by a sparse network of paths and section roads. A north-south corridor provided by Ringgold Rd serves as a primary artery through this portion of the county, linking the widely spaced operations of Rundback Ranch and its neighbors. The contour work by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the subtle but complex elevation changes inherent to this prairie environment.
