2011 Map of Whitman NW

About this map

Dumbbell Ranch and Rothwell Ranch anchor this landscape in Cherry County, representing the deep-rooted cattle ranching traditions of the Nebraska Sandhills. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the North Branch Middle Loup River and the Middle Branch Middle Loup River, which flow across a prairie dotted with small wetlands and seasonal basins. Near the southeastern corner, Krumpf Lake provides a rare permanent water feature in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of undulating grass and sparse infrastructure. Local access is maintained through routes like Ambler Dr, connecting these isolated agricultural operations to the wider region. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern continuity of large-scale landholdings in one of the most sparsely populated regions of the American Great Plains.
