2021 Map of Miles Ranch

About this map

Rush Lake lies within the expansive, undulating landscape where Garfield, Holt, and Wheeler counties meet in the Nebraska Sandhills. This 2021 survey reveals a vast network of wetlands and depressions characteristic of the region's unique hydrology, navigated by a strict grid of section-line roads such as 848th Rd, 485th Ave, and 843 Rd. The absence of dense settlements underscores the area's agricultural and ranching character, where the landscape is primarily defined by its township and range divisions. Local travel is facilitated by corridors like Dumas Ave and 846 Rd, which traverse the varied terrain of T24N and T25N. For those studying the rural infrastructure of central Nebraska, the map provides precise locations for remote crossroads and named water features that have sustained local ranching operations for generations.
