2021 Map of Cody Lake SW

About this map

Lone Valley defines the northern reaches of this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape shaped by stabilized dunes and interdunal valleys. This 2021 survey traces the boundary where McPherson and Logan Counties meet, revealing a remote and sparsely developed region where modern geography is defined by long-standing township lines and minimal infrastructure. The presence of Lariat Rd in the southeastern corner provides one of the few points of access into this interior terrain, highlighting the vast distances between established settlements in this part of the Great Plains. The topography of closed contours and small basins across t19n r29w and surrounding townships illustrates the unique geomorphology of the Sandhills, where the land is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System rather than traditional town centers.
