1985 Map of White Cap Hill

About this map

White Cap Hill rises above a landscape of high sand dunes and scattered depressions in this sparsely settled portion of Brown County. The terrain is defined by its lack of established towns, instead showing a natural topography where Alkali Lake and Moon Lake provide significant landmarks in the southern sections of the sheet. The 1985 survey data indicates a highly specialized landscape use, primarily centered on the extraction and natural drainage patterns of the Sandhills region. Aside from the occasional Sandpit, the map reveals a quiet, open country punctuated by section lines and remote section boundaries like T 29 N and R 24 W. This provisional edition serves as a precise record of the topography before significant modern developments, capturing the isolation of the northern Nebraska plains.
