Nelson Ranch and Forney Ranch anchor this late-1980s look at Sheridan County, where the Sandhills landscape is defined by its agricultural operations and water resources. The terrain is marked by a network of 4wd trails that navigate the rolling topography between the headwaters of Deer Creek and the marshy edges of Spring Lake. This provisional survey illustrates the isolation and functional layout of high-plains ranching, complete with a remote Landing Strip and localized Well sites. The boundary between T 29 N and T 28 N runs through the center of the sheet, providing a clear reference for land ownership researchers and those tracing the historic property lines of these northern Nebraska cattle operations during the late twentieth century.
