1985 Map of Shimmins Lake NE

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Nebraska's Sandhills region, specifically the borderlands between Hooker Co and Thomas Co, is defined by a repetitive, rolling landscape of sand dunes and depressions. This 1980s-era topographical survey captures the remote and sparsely developed character of the central part of the state, where few permanent landmarks exist beyond the county line itself. The map reveals an intricate network of wind-shaped terrain and small, unnamed seasonal ponds, illustrating the delicate hydrology of the Ogallala Aquifer as it meets the surface. Without significant settlements or major roads, the area reflects a landscape primarily dedicated to large-scale ranching, where the natural contours of the land dictate the placement of unimproved ranch roads and property boundaries.
