2011 Map of Haigler NW

About this map

The high plains of Dundy County are defined here by a sparse grid of section lines and the natural meandering path of Buffalo Creek. This area of southwestern Nebraska maintains a low-density rural character, where the landscape is organized primarily for agricultural and aviation utility. Central to this quadrangle is the Harford Ranch Airport, a private landing strip that underscores the reliance on small-scale aviation for navigating and managing the vast ranching properties of the region. The limited infrastructure shown reflects a late twentieth-century pattern of land use where isolated homesteads and ranching operations are connected by a network of local roads that follow the strict geometry of the Public Land Survey System, occasionally broken only by the drainage patterns of local waterways.
