2014 Map of Miles Ranch

About this map

Rush Lake sits near the western edge of this landscape, marking a rare break in the undulating terrain of the Nebraska Sandhills. This 2014 survey documents a remote section of the state where Holt Co Garfield Co, Holt Co Wheeler Co, and Garfield Co Wheeler Co meet at a triple point in the southeast corner. The land is defined by a sparse, grid-like network of section-line roads, including Dumas Ave and 848th Rd, which serve isolated ranching operations. The topography is dominated by fine-grained contour intervals that reveal the complex texture of the stabilized dunes, showing a region where the natural environment largely dictates the patterns of human transit and rural land division.
