About this map

Hospital Valley and Camp Valley dominate this pocket of the Nebraska Sandhills, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of interdunal basins and lakes. The hydrological character of Cherry County is on full display, from the larger waters of Alkali Lake and School Section Lake in the north to the N Br Middle Loup River winding through the central portion of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Perrett - Stansbie Cem as a primary landmark in the southern half of the map, located near Egan Dr. The settlement pattern is sparse, consisting largely of remote ranch roads such as Graham Dr, Stearns Dr, and Ashby Rd, which connect isolated homesteads across the townships. This 2021 survey illustrates how the land remains primarily dedicated to cattle ranching, with numerous smaller water bodies like Melvin Lake and Shigley Lake providing essential resources for the region's agricultural life.
