About this map

Bunner Lake and several other small basins define this characteristic landscape of the Nebraska Sandhills. This 2014 survey reveals a terrain of pocketed depressions and linear ridges, where drainage is primarily internal, forming a series of isolated water bodies such as Anderson Lake and Round Lake. The lack of through-running streams is notable, with the topography instead organized into named depressions like Hardy Valley and Long Valley.

Settlement is sparse, anchored by Flats Place and a limited network of roads, including Husker Ln and Whitman Rd. For the local historian or geologist, the map details how the high water table in these valleys supports perennial lakes like Pratt Lake and Williams Lake, contrasting with the surrounding arid dune formations. The arrangement of these features suggests a landscape where ranching and local water access dictate the placement of human improvements.
