2012 Map of Lone Sand Hill

About this map

Lone Sand Hill rises as the central topographic feature of this high plains landscape straddling the border between Nebraska and Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a sparse network of section-line roads and rural corridors that connect the isolated ranchlands of Sioux County. Primary transit through this quiet corner of the West is provided by Wyoming 159 in the west and Henry Rd in the east, while Co Rd 24 cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the enduring nature of the region's agricultural and grazing layout, where land use is dictated by the subtle contours of the Sandhills and the requirements of large-scale ranching operations during the early twenty-first century.
