2011 Map of Stonehouse Ranch SW

About this map

The Calamus River meanders through the southwestern portion of this Nebraska landscape, defining the primary drainage pattern for an area characterized by isolated water pockets and subtle terrain variations. In the northeastern corner, the open expanse of Gracie Flats suggests the typical ranching and grazing land found in Loup County during the early twenty-first century. This topographic study, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, records the sparse road network and scattered hydrology of the Sandhills region just before the implementation of updated geospatial standards. The map captures a quiet, rural interior where the river remains the most significant natural landmark amidst a series of unnamed ponds and marshes.
