2014 Map of Wright Valley

About this map

Wright Valley characterizes the rolling landscape of this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, where the topography is defined by significant depressions and elevated dunes. In the southern reach of the quadrangle, the terrain opens into the expansive Big Lamunyon Flats and its counterpart, Little Lamunyon Flats. These alkaline flats are characteristic of the region's unique hydrology, often representing seasonal wetlands or meadows amidst the surrounding hills. Near the western boundary, the label Huffman identifies a specific locality within this sparsely settled cattle country. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Hooker County and McPherson County, providing a clear record of the high plains ranching territory as it appeared in the early 21st century.
