2017 Map of Camp Hayes Lake

About this map

Red Willow Cr meanders through the heart of this Hayes County landscape, feeding into the prominent Camp Hayes Lake. The terrain is defined by the sharp incisions of local drainages, most notably the wide corridor of Burger Canyon in the south and the winding path of Skunk Cr to the west. This 2017 survey reflects a largely agricultural and pastoral region, where water management is critical to the local economy, as evidenced by the presence of the Lelker Reservoir. Transportation is maintained through a network of rural routes such as RD 745 and 372 Ave, which follow the section lines characteristic of the Great Plains' public land survey system. The map captures the quiet, hydraulic character of the Nebraska high plains, where small tributaries like Little Blackwood Cr drain the breaks between open tablelands.
