About this map

Hospital Valley and Camp Valley define this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape dominated by internal drainage and high-plains hydrology. The terrain is characterized by numerous isolated basins and semi-permanent water bodies, including School Section Lake, Alkali Lake, and Shigley Lake. The hydrological network is anchored by the N Br Middle Loup River, which flows through the central portion of the quadrangle.

A network of local roads such as Ashby Rd, Stearns Dr, and Graham Dr connects the various valleys and ranching sites. Many of the water features carry descriptive names suggestive of local land use, such as Dipping Vat Meadow, providing a glimpse into the agricultural traditions of Cherry County. The map captures the specialized topography of this region, where the sand dunes create distinctive valleys and basins that support localized wetlands like Melvin Lake and Keller Lake.
