2017 Map of Hoagland NE

About this map

Wild Horse Flats dominates the landscape of this portion of Logan County, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies that underscore the high water table of the Nebraska Sandhills. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Wild Horse Cr, which meanders through the northern sections of the map. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited to a handful of primary thoroughfares such as Wild Horse Creek Rd and Dunning Rd that navigate the depressions between the dunes. The map also records the jurisdictional boundaries where Logan County meets Thomas, Blaine, and Custer counties, illustrating the precise section-line grid that governs this cattle-ranching country. The abundance of unnamed small lakes and marshy areas indicates the vital role of the Ogallala Aquifer in sustaining this environment.
