2021 Map of Whitman NW

About this map

The N Br Middle Loup River and Middle Br Middle Loup River wind through the sandhills of Cherry County, defining the hydrology of this sparsely settled landscape. This 2021 survey reveals a territory structured by the Public Land Survey System, specifically Townships 25 and 26 North across Ranges 37 and 38 West. Small bodies of water such as Krumpf Lake dot the low-lying areas between the dunes. The local road network is limited to a handful of named routes like Ambler Dr, Ponderosa Rd, and Gentry Rd, which provide access to this ranching country. The lack of traditional townsites emphasizes the contemporary isolation of the Nebraska Sandhills, where the economy remains tied to the water levels of the Loup River system and the seasonal availability of grazing land.
