1985 Map of Wright Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Wright Valley defines the topographic character of this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, where the landscape is marked by the unique depressional wetlands characteristic of the region. Surveyed in the mid-1980s, the map reveals the isolation and specialized land use of the border between Hooker and McPherson counties. The terrain is dominated by vast dune formations and intermittent water features, most notably the expansive Big Lamunyon Flats and the nearby Little Lamunyon Flats. Human presence is sparse, centered on established pastoral operations such as Huffman Ranch and Pettit Ranch. These family-named landmarks are critical for genealogists and local historians tracing the ranching heritage of the high plains, where specific homesteads often served as the primary geographical anchors for entire townships.
