2011 Map of Rosebud Lake

About this map

The North Fork Dismal River meanders through this remote portion of Hooker County, shaping a landscape defined by ranching and hydrology. Large holdings such as the Riemer Ranch, M Vinton Ranch, and S Bar Ranch characterize the settlement pattern, where infrastructure is primarily limited to local access routes like Whitman Rd and Rush Creek Ln. In the eastern section, the river widens to form Rosebud Lake, a notable water feature in the otherwise semi-arid Sandhills terrain. This 2011 survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where the network of named roads like Buffalo Head Ln and Haney Ln serves a sparse population centered on these established ranching operations.
