2017 Map of Lowe Valley

About this map

Lowe Valley and Hospital Valley characterize the terrain of the Nebraska Sandhills captured in this topographic survey. These broad depressions amongst the grass-covered dunes are indicative of the region's unique hydrology and grazing landscape, where low-lying areas often collect water or provide more sheltered grazing than the surrounding ridges. Along the western edge, Granning Lake serves as a primary water feature, while the map also denotes the administrative boundary between Sheridan Co and Cherry Co. The absence of developed towns and major roads highlights the area's enduring character as a sparsely populated ranching territory, structured by the Public Land Survey System grids of t26n r41w, t26n r40w, t25n r41w, and t25n r40w.
