2011 Map of Carson Lake

About this map

Carson Lake and the winding course of Big Cedar Creek define this rural landscape in Holt County, Nebraska. This 2011 survey illustrates a region dominated by wide-open spaces and the intricate water systems of the Nebraska Sandhills. In the southern portion of the sheet, the flat terrain gives way to Garska Meadow, a feature that highlights the local importance of named landforms in this agricultural and pastoral environment. The network of local roads and unimproved trails provides a clear look at the sparse settlement patterns and the way infrastructure adapts to the natural contours of the creeks and wetlands.
