2021 Map of Camp Hayes Lake

About this map

Red Willow Cr meanders across the high plains of Hayes County in this recent survey, carving a distinct drainage pattern through the central sections of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by its dramatic topographic relief, particularly evident along the edges of Burger Canyon and the surrounding breaks. This region of Nebraska remains characterized by its sparse settlement and extensive ranching or agricultural divisions, with travel primarily occurring along a grid of section-line roads like RD 737 and 372 Ave. Water management is a critical local feature, highlighted by the presence of the Lelker Reservoir in the southwest and several seasonal tributaries including Skunk Cr and Little Blackwood Cr. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries that have dictated land use in this part of the state for over a century.
