2017 Map of Carr Lake

About this map

Cherry Valley and Carr Lake dominate this sparsely settled portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, located along the border of Grant and Hooker counties. The landscape is defined by its internal drainage and low-lying basins, a characteristic of this unique prairie environment. Local movement is facilitated by a handful of established routes, including Cherry Valley Rd and S Whitman Rd, which skirt the edges of the undulating terrain. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring cattle-ranching character of the region, where naming conventions like Flats Ln describe the breaks in the hills that allow for transit and grazing operations in this remote part of the state.
