2017 Map of Linscott

About this map

Linscott sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, straddling the boundary where Blaine and Custer counties meet. The area is defined by its rural isolation and ranching infrastructure, most notably the Mc Ginn Ranch Airport located in the northwest. The terrain transitions into the distinct topography of Sand Valley to the south, a region marked by rolling depressions and sparse water features. A network of county and ranch roads, such as Hoosier Valley Rd and Rifle Creek Rd, provide the only modern corridors through this section of the Nebraska Sandhills. The map illustrates a landscape of large-scale land management, with section lines and township boundaries like t20n r24w organizing the vast, open spaces between scattered homesteads and drainages.
