2011 Map of Tryon NW

About this map

Large cattle ranches define the landscape of this portion of Hooker County, where the topography and road network reflect a region shaped by the ranching economy of the early 21st century. The map highlights a series of named family operations, such as Purdum Ranch in the north and Dobbins Ranch and Waits Ranch in the south, which represent the primary centers of activity in this rural territory. A north-south corridor connects several properties, including A Neal Ranch and L Neal Ranch, alongside others like Whittaker Ranch and McClintock Ranch. This spatial distribution reveals how land is partitioned in the Nebraska Sandhills, where sprawling ranch tracts like Roggenthen Ranch and Power Ranch necessitate a spread-out infrastructure of local roads and trails to manage the vast acreage typical of this high plains country.
