2017 Map of North of Hershey

About this map

Good Hope Cemetery lies at the heart of this Lincoln County landscape, serving as a primary point of historical reference in a region defined by expansive ranching operations. The area is characterized by a sparse distribution of established homesteads, including Pierson Ranch and Pullen Ranch. The map illustrates the specialized land use of the Nebraska Sandhills, where large tracts are organized under the Public Land Survey System, specifically within t16n r32w and adjacent townships. These boundaries reflect the enduring legacy of early settlers and their cattle operations, such as Gragg Ranch and Green Ranch, which have historically relied on the specific topography and hydrology of the high plains to sustain their livelihoods.
