2011 Map of Thedford SW

About this map

The Dismal River carves a winding path across this portion of Thomas County, defining the central landscape of this Nebraska Sandhills region. This 2011 survey captures a sparsely populated ranching environment where the watercourse remains the primary geographical anchor. Cultural markers are limited to isolated landmarks like the Paxton Ranch, which sits in the western section of the quadrangle. Transportation is defined by remote thoroughfares including Paxton Santo Rd and Connell Rd, which connect the interior rangelands. The map illustrates the characteristic isolation of the region, showing few named features beyond these vital ranching outposts and the essential river drainage that supports the local cattle industry.
