2017 Map of Bucktail Lake

About this map

Bucktail Lake sits at the heart of this Sandhills landscape, where the high plains of Nebraska meet a complex network of county boundaries. This 2017 survey documents the intersection of Arthur, McPherson, and Keith counties, a region defined by its wide-open topography and sparse infrastructure. The drainage of W Birdwood Cr flows through the southern reaches, providing a rare hydrological focal point in a territory otherwise dominated by section lines and local transit routes like Bucktail Rd and Packard Dr. The map reflects the enduring rural character of the Nebraska panhandle, where land use is strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the clearly marked townships including t17n r36w and t18n r36w.
