2017 Map of Stonehouse Ranch NW

About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills define the landscape of this Rock County region, where the terrain transitions into the level expanse of Gracie Flats. In a territory where roads follow the strict geometry of the Public Land Survey System, the few established thoroughfares like 450th Ave and 854th Rd provide the primary structural framework for the remote ranchlands. The presence of Rose Hill Cem serves as a lone marker of community history amidst the wide-open township boundaries of t26n r18w and t25n r18w. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a modern look at the land's hydrology and small-scale infrastructure, showing how natural drainage and wetlands interact with the gridded county roads that navigate the complex topography.
