2011 Map of Stapleton SW

About this map

Large family-held ranching operations define this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills in Lincoln County. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse, working landscape where property boundaries and access are dictated by the terrain rather than dense urban development. Historically significant homesteads and ranching outfits like the Horseshoe Bar Ranch and Sivits Ranch anchor the northern sections of the quadrangle, while the Hadley Barrett IX Ranch and Melvin Ranch mark the southern reaches. The road network, including N Sandhill Rd and E Barrett Rd, consists of essential arteries connecting these remote cattle operations. The presence of N Llama Rd and various auto gates suggests a landscape specialized for livestock management, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of central Nebraska in the early 21st century.
