2014 Map of Bornemann Lake

About this map

Bornemann Lake lies at the center of this terrain in Cherry County, where the topography is defined by the unique hydrology of the Nebraska Sandhills. North of the lake, the Lavaca Flats represent a distinct change in elevation, providing a rare stretch of level ground in a landscape otherwise dominated by intricate contour lines. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a sparsely populated region where natural landforms and water bodies remain the primary landmarks, illustrating the enduring isolation and specific environmental character of this portion of the Great Plains.
