2014 Map of Camp Valley

About this map

Hospital Valley and Camp Valley define the undulating terrain of this Cherry County landscape, where the Sandhills' characteristic topography is punctuated by numerous lakes and basins. The distribution of water is a defining feature of the area, ranging from the large Alkali Lake in the north to the isolated Keller Lake in the south. The road network consists primarily of localized routes and trails, such as N Ashby Rd, Stearns Dr, and Trail Rd, which navigate the complex contours between the dunes. The naming conventions of the water bodies, including School Section Lake, Shigley Lake, and Melvin Lake, suggest a history of local land use and family associations typical of Nebraska's ranching country. The absence of concentrated settlements highlights the expansive, open nature of this region during the early twenty-first century.
