1985 Map of Tryon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The remote Sandhills along the Hooker Co and McPherson Co line are defined by a network of scattered cattle operations in the mid-1980s. This landscape is a patchwork of family-named ranching outposts, including McClintock Ranch and Power Ranch. The terrain is marked by the unique dune topography of central Nebraska, where roads are sparse and often limited to four-wheel drive tracks connecting isolated homesites like Lutes Ranch and Waits Ranch. Settlement patterns here reflect the large-scale landholdings required for livestock in this environment, with related families often holding adjacent parcels as seen with A Neal Ranch and L Neal Ranch. This survey provides a precise record of these rural homesteads and their unimproved access routes before modern consolidations.
