2021 Map of Hoagland NE

About this map

Wild Horse Flats dominates the landscape of this portion of Logan County, characterized by the intricate topography of the Nebraska Sandhills. This 2021 survey reveals a remote landscape defined by ephemeral wetlands and the drainage of Wild Horse Creek, which flows northeast toward the Loup River system beyond the map's boundary. The area's human imprint is sparse, consisting primarily of a geometric grid of section lines and a few critical transit corridors like Dunning Rd and Wild Horse Creek Rd. The convergence of Thomas, Logan, Blaine, and Custer counties at various boundaries highlights the region's intersection of local jurisdictions. This map serves as a vital record for understanding the modern distribution of water and ranch roads across this fragile prairie ecosystem.
