1978 Map of Lone Sand Hill

About this map

The high plains of the Wyoming and Nebraska borderland are defined here by a landscape of shifting elevations and sparse landmarks. Lone Sand Hill stands as a prominent natural feature in this open country, situated near the intersection of Goshen Co and Sioux Co. The area is characterized by the transition between the two states, where survey lines and section divisions overlay the natural terrain. Land use appears dedicated to grazing and ranching, evidenced by the network of unimproved roads and light-duty paths that navigate the contours. This 1978 edition reveals the rural character of the region during a period when the interstate boundary was a primary organizational element for local landowners and surveyors.
