Hello, I once saw a map at a I-80 reststop near York, NE that showed the limit of the sandhills. Ironically, we were on our way to fish at Calamus (extremely beautiful) Res. which is near Burwell and Ord. I had heard that Calamus was in the sandhills, but on the map it seemed to far east. But, on highway 11 about 35 miles before Calamus, sure enough sandhills started popping up! If I remember correctly, the boundary of the sandhills is vaguely: from Burwell NW to Valentine, W to Chadron, S to around Scottsbluff, SE to just N of North Platte, and ENE back to Burwell. I have also heard friends from Chadron refer to the town Hyannis in Grant County to be the "heart" of the sandhills. What I can say for sure is, there sure is some good fishin' in the them thar sandhills!!! Hope that helps some! cheers, Aarron Richard Druery Lincoln, Nebraska > > Mark asks: > > >could someone tell me which counties in Nebraska are associated with the > >"Sand Hills"?
