2017 Map of Lost Lake Ranch

About this map

The rolling sandhills of Brown County define this landscape at the intersection of several historic township boundaries. This 2017 study by the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Geological Survey covers the transition between T29n R23w, T29n R22w, T28n R23w, and T28n R22w. The terrain is characterized by a high density of small, isolated depressions and wetlands, particularly visible in the northern sections. This specific concentration of interior basins suggests a complex local hydrology, where water collects in the hollows of the dunes without a centralized drainage system. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid across these undulating plains, a vital resource for tracing land ownership and ranching boundaries in this part of Nebraska.
