2011 Map of Green Ranch

About this map

Birdwood Creek and its tributary, West Birdwood Creek, anchor this landscape in Lincoln County, Nebraska, where the terrain is defined by large-scale ranching and a sparse network of section roads. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where named homesteads serve as the primary landmarks in the Sandhills region. These include the central Green Ranch, Richardson Ranch to the north, and the Dikeman Ranch and Fleecs Ranch further south. The transportation infrastructure is primarily functional, consisting of unpaved routes such as N Birdwood Rd, N Sand Rd, and Fleecs Rd. This survey captures the spatial relationship between water sources and established ranching operations, documenting the enduring footprint of family names on the Nebraska plains.
