2014 Map of Carr Lake

About this map

Cherry Valley defines this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, where the topography is shaped by the complex dune formations characteristic of the region. The map captures a landscape defined by natural depression and elevation, most notably centered on the waters of Carr Lake. This 2014 survey documents the boundary between Grant and Hooker Counties, illustrating a terrain where human infrastructure is sparse. Only essential corridors like Flats Ln navigate the undulating landscape, reflecting the remote ranching character of the area. Researchers can observe the natural hydrology of the basin, where small bodies of water and valleys provided critical landmarks and resources in a region primarily dedicated to pastoral use.
