2011 Map of Hire SW

About this map

South Branch Middle Loup River winds through this region of the Nebraska Sandhills, defining the local hydrology and landscape. The map reflects a remote area where the natural drainage patterns of the river system are the most prominent features. Transportation is limited to sparse corridors such as Gudmundsen Rd and Emerson Rd, which provide access through the open terrain of Hooker County. This survey captures a moment in the early 21st century where the land remains largely defined by its watercourses and vast open spaces, typical of the rural cattle-ranching country in this part of the state.
