2015 Map of Lone Sand Hill

About this map

Lone Sand Hill rises as the central geographic landmark in this high-plains landscape where the high plateaus of Eastern Wyoming meet the Nebraska Panhandle. The map documents the precise north-south boundary between Goshen County, Wyoming, and Sioux County, Nebraska, a line that cuts through an expansive grid of section lines and township divisions including t29n r60w and t28n r58w. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined more by its natural topography and administrative boundaries than by dense settlement. Human activity is primarily traced through the sparse network of rural transit routes, such as Van Tassell Rd and Henry Rd, which follow the contours of the land or the straight lines of the Public Land Survey System. The area remains a characteristic example of the western ranching frontier's enduring layout, where property lines and section corners dictate the placement of roads like Road 118.
