2011 Map of Stonehouse Ranch NW

About this map

Rose Hill Cemetery sits as a solitary landmark within this expansive portion of Rock County, where the landscape is defined by a sparse network of section roads and small water bodies. Located in the northern Nebraska sandhills region, the area shows a distinct pattern of rural land division and remote ranching outposts. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the isolated character of the plains, where human footprints are limited to occasional homesteads and the grid of local roads. The placement of the cemetery among the undulating terrain suggests a historical focal point for the surrounding ranching families in an otherwise thinly settled prairie.
