2011 Map of Miles Ranch

About this map

Rush Lake dominates the western portion of this landscape, its irregular shoreline reflecting the unique hydrography of the Nebraska Sandhills. This 2011 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, documents the sparse rural infrastructure of Holt County. The map area is defined by a grid of section-line roads, including 482nd Ave and 848th Rd, which serve as the primary conduits through this expansive cattle country. The lack of dense settlement or named towns highlights the region's character as a working ranching landscape where natural water features like Rush Lake are the primary landmarks for local navigation and land management.
