About this map

The high plains of western Nebraska's sandhills country define this landscape, anchored by the village of Hyannis in the northeastern corner. In the mid-1980s, the area remained a sparse network of cattle operations and seasonal wetlands, with family legacies recorded at the Paul Sweet Ranch, Sid Sweet Ranch, and Minor Ranch. The terrain is dominated by closed-basin lakes of varying sizes, including the expansive George Lake and the descriptive Alkali Lake. Local history and genealogy are highlighted by the Cem located near the town center, while physical changes to the earth are noted by a Spoil Bank and the presence of both Big Buckboard Lake and Little Buckboard Lake. The map illustrates the specialized ranching economy of Grant County, where water resources like Cricket Lake and Sears Lake are critical markers across the undulating hills.
