About this map

Garska Meadow and a complex network of intermittent wetlands define this section of the Nebraska Sandhills along the border of Loup and Garfield counties. The landscape is dominated by the depressional basins of the High Plains, where water bodies like Nichol Lake and Bald Lake collect in the undulating terrain. To the southwest, the impounded waters of the Calamus Reservoir reach into the quadrangle, altering the local hydrology and drainage patterns of Dry Cr. This modern survey illustrates the sparse, grid-based road system typical of the region, where routes such as Dry Creek Ave and 840th Rd provide the primary access through the large-scale ranching and grazing lands of the interior.
