2021 Map of Brownlee Flats

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Brownlee anchors this landscape of the Nebraska Sandhills, situated where the North Loup River meets the local road network in Cherry County. The terrain is defined by broad alluvial basins and winding watercourses, notably Brownlee Flats and Lee Flats, which suggest a long history of ranching and meadow haying. To the west, the Wamaduze Valley and Horseshoe Valley carve distinct paths through the dunes, feeding into the river system via Wamaduze Cr and Brush Cr. The presence of Horseshoe Lake and the intermittent flow of Pass Cr in the south illustrate the delicate hydrology of this prairie environment, where surface water is often seasonal and closely tied to the underlying aquifer. This 2021 survey documents the persistent settlement patterns and natural drainage systems that have shaped this remote corner of the Great Plains for generations.
