2011 Map of Stuart NE

About this map

Wilson Ranch serves as a focal point in this section of Holt County, illustrating the enduring cattle-ranching heritage of northern Nebraska. The landscape is defined by the branching hydrography of Big Sandy Creek and its various tributaries, including Conway Branch and Springs Creek. Water management and land use are evidenced by structures like McEachen Dam Number 1, which anchors the local drainage system. The map reflects a rural infrastructure built around large-scale landholdings and natural watercourses, with Beaver Creek flowing through the western portion of the quadrangle. Transport is facilitated by a grid of rural routes such as 469 Ave and 887th Rd, which segment the rolling plains and connect isolated homesteads and ranching operations.
