1985 Map of Shimmins Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The undulating sandhills of Hooker County, Nebraska, define this mid-1980s landscape, captured during a period of provisional topographic mapping. This specific survey area is characterized by the complex relief of the Nebraska Sandhills, a terrain of stabilization and wind-shaped dunes that dictate the sparse settlement patterns seen here. The map is primarily organized by the public land survey system markers T23n T22n and R32w R31w, showing a region largely devoid of dense infrastructure. Instead, the sheet records a delicate network of unimproved roads and trails that navigate the depressions between the dunes, where water occasionally collects. This document provides a rare look at the ranching interior of the state before modern digital updates, reflecting the isolation and environmental character of the central Sandhills.
