2021 Map of Carson Lake

About this map

Carson Lake and the wetlands of the Nebraska Sandhills define this remote stretch of the High Plains, where the borders of Loup, Holt, Rock, and Garfield counties converge. The landscape is characterized by its internal drainage patterns and the winding course of Big Cedar Cr, which flows through the northern sections of the survey. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the region's ranching character, with land management organized around section lines and seasonal grazing areas like Garska Meadow. Local transit is maintained through a network of section-line roads, including 846th Rd and 844th Rd, which navigate the subtle depressions and rises of the sandy terrain. This map captures the intersection of four counties at a single point, a detail of particular interest to those studying the legal and geographic boundaries of north-central Nebraska.
