1985 Map of Long Lake SE

About this map

Goose Creek meanders through this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, defining the low-lying drainage of a landscape otherwise dominated by rolling dunes and scattered ranching outposts. Recorded in the mid-1980s, the map document several established family holdings and legacy sites including Piercy Place, Paine Place, and the Hartgraves Place. The distribution of these named locales, alongside active operations like the Ganser Ranch and Gudgel Ranch, illustrates the sparse but persistent settlement pattern of Cherry County. Remote ranching infrastructure is further evidenced by isolated irrigation points such as the Irr Well found near the western boundary. The terrain is marked by traditional land divisions, with section lines and township boundaries like T 28 N T 27 N overlaying the natural topography of the basin.
