Nebraska land real estate

Nebraska land overview

You've heard of a landlocked state, but what about a triply landlocked state? Nebraska is the only triply landlocked U.S. state meaning not only does it not have ocean access, but neither do the states it borders or the states those states border. Nebraska's geography is more interesting than you might think and features 2 major geographic regions. The Dissected Till Plains cover the eastern fifth of Nebraska and include the cities of Lincoln and Omaha. The land here consists of gently rolling hills and a lot of farmland. The Great Plains cover the rest of the state. This area is both flat and hilly depending on where you're at. Believe it or not, central Nebraska has over 12 million acres of sand dunes called the Sand Hills which happens to be the largest area of sand dunes in North America. In northwestern Nebraska there's an unusual area called the Badlands where wind and water have sculpted the sandstone into strange natural formations. If you're looking to buy property in Nebraska, chances are it'll be on top of the Ogallala Aquifer—one of the world's largest aquifers which produces about a third of the groundwater used for irrigation in the U.S.
