2011 Map of Velma SW

About this map

Arthur County ranching heritage is preserved in this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by expansive holdings and winding sandhills roads. Named homesteads like the Starkey Ranch and Hall Ranch serve as primary anchors in this sparsely populated territory, illustrating the continued importance of family-named landmarks in the Nebraska Panhandle. The network of roads, including Valentine Rd and Carlholm Dr, reflects the practical geography of a remote cattle-country economy. Tracing the placement of McCollin Ranch and Wymore Ranch, researchers can observe the spatial organization of these large agricultural tracts. The map provides a clear look at the infrastructure supporting this rural area, from the southern Lewellen Rd to northern outposts like O Lane Ranch, documenting the region's contemporary land use and connectivity.
