2014 Map of Halsey SE

About this map

The Dismal River carves a distinct path through the southern portion of this landscape, marking a sharp contrast to the surrounding topography within the Nebraska National Forest. This section of Thomas County, surveyed in 2014, captures the essential character of the Sandhills region, where the winding river corridor provides a rare drainage system through an otherwise undulating terrain. The human imprint on this part of the forest is defined by a sparse network of service routes, including Nantick Rd, Day Rd, and Circle Rd, which provide access to the interior for management and recreation. The eastern edge of the map identifies the jurisdictional boundary between Thomas County and Blaine County, illustrating how political lines bisect this largely uninhabited territory of the Nebraska plains.
