2017 Map of Ough

About this map

Ough sits at a geographic crossroads in the high plains of Southwest Nebraska, where the border of Chase and Dundy Counties bisects the landscape. This 2017 survey shows a region defined by its wide section-line grid and the subtle drainage of Muddy Creek. Local history is anchored by the presence of Ough Cemetery and the evocatively named Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, which serve as permanent markers of the community's ancestral roots. The map reveals a highly structured rural environment where a network of numbered thoroughfares, including Rd 724 and Rd 721, facilitates movement across the expansive townships of t4n r38w and t4n r37w. This document captures the modern state of these farming and ranching lands, illustrating how early settlement patterns have evolved into the current system of roads and land management.
