1990 Map of Lone Sand Hill

About this map

Lone Sand Hill rises as the primary landmark in this desolate corner of the High Plains, where the border between Wyoming and Nebraska meets. Based on imagery from 1973 and revised in 1990, the survey documents a landscape defined by its political boundaries and sparse water sources rather than human settlement. The state line divides Goshen County and Sioux County, marking a transition between the grazing lands of the two states. Beyond the topographic relief of the sand hill itself, the only notable evidence of infrastructure is a lone well in the northwest, highlighting the critical importance of groundwater management in this arid ranching environment during the late twentieth century.
