2014 Map of Carrico Lakes

About this map

The North Loup River meanders through the northern reaches of this Cherry County landscape, a region defined by its complex hydrology and the broad depression of Survey Valley. This 2014 survey documents the remote character of north-central Nebraska, where water is the primary geographic anchor. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, the Carrico Lakes sit amidst the interdunal swales typical of the Sandhills. The infrastructure is sparse, dominated by the north-south corridor of Ne-61, which provides the main transit link through the area. Local access is maintained through a network of rural routes including Survey Valley Rd, Hoyt Dr, and Henderson Rd, which serve the scattered ranching interests that characterize this section of the Nebraska interior.
