2011 Map of Bristol Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Bristol Lake and its surrounding alkali waters punctuate this remote expanse of the Nebraska Sandhills in Cherry County. The landscape is defined by its ranching heritage and isolated water bodies, where the grid of sections meets the winding path of Survey Valley Rd. Private holdings like the Yauney Ranch and B Adam Ranch represent the sparse settlement pattern characteristic of this cattle-country interior. Apart from the larger central basin, smaller features such as Church Lake and Preston Lake provide essential landmarks for navigating the undulating terrain. This 2011 survey serves as a clear record of the region's hydrography and road network, documenting the specific ranching headquarters that anchor local history in one of the most sparsely populated corners of the state.
