2017 Map of Camp Lake

About this map

Camp Lake and Peterson Lake are the defining water features of this Morrill County landscape, located within the Nebraska Sandhills. The terrain is characterized by a high density of small depressions and seasonal wetlands typical of the region's unique geography. High points such as Reilly Hill provide relief amidst the undulating dunes and interdunal valleys. A network of county and local roads, including Co Rd 111 and Rd 114, bisects the area, following the section lines established by the Public Land Survey System. These routes facilitate movement across the cattle ranching country that occupies much of the quadrangle. The sparse distribution of man-made structures on this 2017 survey reflects the low population density of the Nebraska panhandle, where land use is primarily dedicated to large-scale ranching operations centered around the available water sources in the valley floors.
