2021 Map of Bruner Lake

About this map

Bruner Lake and Long Lake define this pocket of the Nebraska Sandhills, where the topography is characterized by intricate dune formations and isolated wetlands. The boundary between Rock County and Holt County runs vertically through the western portion of the map, marking a division in this sparsely populated ranching landscape. Human presence is minimal, etched into the terrain by a few gravel corridors like 850th Rd and 849th Rd. The Public Land Survey System grid, indicated by township markers such as t26n r16w, organizes the territory into a vast network of sections used for land management and grazing. This survey provides a clear view of the natural drainage and depression patterns that dictate the location of seasonal water bodies in this unique geologic region.
