AERIAL PROPERTY & INFORMATIONAL MAPS

LOESS CANYON REGION of NEBRASKA

This unique ecosystem located south of the Platte River valley and southeast of North Platte is comprised of about 340,000 acres of silty soils, which long ago eroded into narrow gulches and steep canyons. These hills support mixed-grass prairie and scattered cropland. The mixed-grass prairies have been highly invaded by eastern red cedars in recent decades. Though the cedars have limited the grazing capacity of the rangeland they have created fantastic wildlife habitat for elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, turkey and many species of fur baring animals including coyote, bobcat and raccoon. Upland bird hunting including prairie chicken and grouse is also active in this region.

CEDAR VALLEY WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA

Just across the fence to the north of the property is the State of Nebraska Game and Parks Cedar Valley Wildlife Management Area. This is area includes approximately 785 acres of public access for hunting and recreation. You can search more about State of Nebraska’s Management Areas with the link below.
