2011 Map of Hulbert Lake

About this map

Large cattle operations and remote sandhills homesteads define this section of Arthur County, Nebraska. The landscape is marked by a network of ranch properties, including the Peterson Ranch, Spencer Ranch, and the expansive Hawkins Ranch, which is served by its own private airstrip, the Hawkins Ranch Airport. These family-named landmarks reflect a long-standing agricultural tradition where roads are often named for the residents they serve, such as Kaps Rd and Sillassen Rd. In the southeastern corner, the geography shifts toward Haythorn Valley, where Haythorn Lake provides a rare water source for the surrounding Haythorn Ranch. The map reveals the isolation of these Sandhills outposts, connected by thoroughfares like Valentine Rd that stretch across the open plains between distant neighbors such as Schneede Ranch and Frye Ranch.
