2014 Map of Horsehead Ranch

About this map

Horsehead Ranch lends its name to this high plains landscape along the county line between Morrill and Cheyenne counties. The area is defined by a grid of rural routes and the seasonal drainage patterns of the Nebraska panhandle, including the notable Wild Horse Draw in the south. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the location of Sanders Cem situated along Road 58, a quiet landmark in an area otherwise dominated by open range and ranching operations. The terrain is marked by intermittent watercourses like Middle Creek, Greenwood Cr, and Rush Cr, which highlight the hydraulic history of this semi-arid region. These features, along with a network of numbered section roads, illustrate the enduring land-use patterns of western Nebraska's ranching country.
