About this map

Steve Moreland Ranch and Bob Moreland Ranch anchor a landscape defined by expansive cattle operations and scattered water bodies along the Nebraska-South Dakota border. The northern reaches are dotted with prominent basins including Goose Lake, S B Lake, and the aptly named Clubhouse Lake. This 2011 survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where family-named properties like Quible Ranch, Schlack Ranch, and Wickman Ranch serve as primary landmarks across the high plains.

Infrastructure is focused on traditional ranching access and transit, highlighted by the Cowboy Trl crossing the center of the sheet. Educational history is represented by the isolated School Number 75, while the winding course of Bear Creek provides a natural drainage artery through the southern half of the quadrangle. The map captures the specialized land use of the Sandhills transition, where large-scale ranching remains the dominant economic and social driver.
