2021 Map of Coleman Lake

About this map

Coleman Lake and Little Coleman Lake sit within the distinct sandhills landscape of Cherry County, defining a region where water sources are critical landmarks. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse settlement pattern dominated by topographic depressions and open basins such as Poole Flat and Dry Valley. The presence of Flowing Well Lake suggests the importance of artesian water sources in this environment, which is largely devoid of traditional town centers. Navigation through this terrain is primarily facilitated by primitive routes and named corridors like Cedar Dr, which provide access to the various lake basins including Carpenter Lake. To the west, the expansive Prairie Dog Flats highlights the broad, low-relief features characteristic of the Nebraska interior, providing a detailed view of the natural landforms before modern development or intensive infrastructure altered the local geography.
