Nebraka Sandhills
The Nebraska Sandhills, spanning twenty thousand square miles of north central Nebraska, is the largest stabilized dune field in the Western Hemisphere and the largest intact mixed-grass prairie left on the continent. This description by photographer Michael Forsberg alludes to the exceptional physical geography of the region, a place of rolling grasslands, rivers, and wetlands created by the Ogallala Aquifer that underlies the area. Dotted with ranches and small towns, the Sandhills are rich with deep cultural history, including those of Indigenous peoples, settlers, Black homesteaders, immigrants, ecotourists, and some adventurous golfers. The area is also home to abundant wildlife, from pronghorn antelope to sandhill cranes, making it an ecological treasure.
The Nebraska Sandhills features nearly forty essays that provide a comprehensive and illuminating portrayal of this remarkable yet largely unknown region of the United States. The essays cover the history, people, geography, geology, ecology, and conservation of the Nebraska Sandhills, complemented by hundreds of remarkable color photographs that capture the beauty and diversity of the area. This comprehensive work offers a deeper understanding and appreciation of this unique and captivating landscape.
The rolling grasslands of the Nebraska Sandhills, resembling a rumpled wool blanket, are the result of the Ogallala Aquifer, a vast underground water source that has shaped the geography and ecology of the region over time. The Sandhills are home to a rich tapestry of cultural histories, from the Indigenous peoples who have long inhabited the land to the diverse communities of settlers, homesteaders, and immigrants who have made their mark on the region.
The Sandhills are not only a place of natural beauty but also a hub of wildlife diversity. Pronghorn antelope, sandhill cranes, and a multitude of other species thrive in the mixed-grass prairie, making the Sandhills an ecological treasure trove. Ecotourists and adventurous golfers alike are drawn to the Sandhills, further highlighting the region's importance as a natural and recreational resource.
The comprehensive exploration of the Nebraska Sandhills in this publication provides a deeper understanding of this remarkable yet underappreciated region of the United States. From the physical geography to the cultural history and ecological significance, the essays and stunning photography offer a truly illuminating portrayal of this unique landscape. The Nebraska Sandhills is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the diverse natural and human stories that make this region so exceptional.
