2011 Map of Wright Valley

About this map

Wright Valley characterizes this stretch of the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape defined by its isolated ranching outposts and unique topographic depressions. This 2011 survey illustrates the sparse settlement pattern typical of the region, where family-named locations such as Huffman Ranch and Pettit Ranch serve as primary landmarks across the rolling terrain. The map highlights distinct geomorphic features such as Big Lamunyon Flats and Little Lamunyon Flats, which represent the expansive, low-lying basin areas found between the characteristic sand dunes. These flats and the network of local roads provide a look at the modern rural infrastructure required to manage these large landholdings in Hooker County.
