About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills of Grant and Cherry Counties are defined by a network of ranching homesteads and alkaline basins in this late 20th-century survey. The village of Hyannis serves as the regional anchor in the southeast corner, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The surrounding landscape is a complex of valleys and ridges, featuring prominent family operations such as the J Brenneman, B Brenneman, and G Brenneman ranches.

Hydrological features are central to life here, with the Middle Branch Loup River winding through the center of the sheet. Numerous water bodies like Soda Lake, Castle Lake, and the Wolfenberger Lakes are interspersed between landmarks like Brown Valley and Lamb Valley. Transportation is supported by the Grant Co Landing Field near the Klase Ranch, illustrating the remote connectivity required for these sprawling western cattle operations.
