Nebraska Sandhills Region
The Sandhills
The Nebraska Sandhills are one of the largest grass-stabilized dune systems in the world—spanning over 19,000 square miles of rolling hills, native prairie, and quiet ranch towns. Formed thousands of years ago and held together by deep-rooted grasses, the Sandhills are a living landscape shaped by wind, water, and stewardship.
Highway 20 cuts through the northern edge of this region, linking towns like Bassett, Newport, and Long Pine to a legacy of resilience. These communities are woven into the land—built on cattle, conservation, and quiet pride. The Sandhills are not just scenery; they are a way of life.
