2011 Map of Wild Horse Spring

About this map

Wild Horse Spring lies at the heart of this high plains landscape in Perkins County, where the terrain is defined by the subtle depressions and ephemeral water features characteristic of Nebraska’s western sandhills and tablelands. The grid of section lines and local roads organizes the agricultural expanse, leading south toward the outskirts of the county seat. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey records the modern infrastructure of the region, anchored by the Grant Municipal Airport in the southwest corner. The sparse distribution of named features underscores the rural nature of the area, emphasizing its reliance on groundwater and the systematic division of land for ranching and farming operations.
