2017 Map of Shimmins Lake NE

About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills landscape is defined by its characteristic undulating terrain, where the boundary between Hooker Co and Thomas Co runs north to south through a series of townships including t23n r31w and t23n r30w. This remote rangeland is marked by a sparse network of roads that reflect the area's agricultural and ranching heritage. Long, straight thoroughfares like S Seneca Ave and Windmill Rd navigate the depressions between hills, connecting isolated homesteads and grazing tracts. The map illustrates the 2017 land use patterns of this central Nebraska region, where naming conventions like Heritage Rd and Homestead Ln underscore the historical settlement of these large-acreage parcels. The absence of densely populated towns highlights the open-country nature of the High Plains, where human impact is etched into the landscape through range management and a handful of section-line roads.
