2021 Map of Brownlee
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
The North Loup River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Brownlee. This area of Cherry County is defined by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies typical of the Sandhills region, including Alkali Lake and the Chamberlain Swamp in the far northeast. For those researching local families, the Brownlee Cem is located just west of the main village. The terrain transitions from the river valley to the higher ground of Hackberry Point, with Brownlee Rd providing the primary corridor through the hills. The map highlights a remote environment where ranching life is dictated by the availability of water, illustrated by features like O'Brien Lake and the Reiser-Shockley Swamp.
