About this map

The rolling hills of the Nebraska Sandhills are the primary focus of this 1980s provisional study, showing a landscape defined by its depressions and peaks. The boundary between Garden Co and Arthur Co runs north-to-south through the western portion of the map, dividing these high-plains counties. Human presence is sparse in this environment, with the White Ranch in the southeast corner serving as a primary point of interest for local history researchers and genealogists tracking ranching operations in the region. The map primarily records the intricate topography of the dune formations and the unimproved trails that navigate between them, illustrating the remote character of the area prior to later developments.
