2014 Map of Dolly Warden Lake

About this map

Dolly Warden Lake and its surrounding water bodies define this high-plains landscape in eastern Sheridan County. The terrain is characterized by numerous small basins and depressions that hold water, creating a scattered network of lakes including Petes Lake, Spring Lake, and Chicken Lake. This hydrologic pattern suggests a delicate environmental balance typical of the Nebraska Sandhills region, where groundwater and surface features are closely linked. Modern accessibility is provided by Ne-27, which runs north-south through the center of the sheet, and a network of rural trails such as 377th Trl and 448th Trl. Low-lying areas like Willow Valley break the topography, while other named basins such as Round Lake, Keys Lake, and Sandoz Lake offer clear reference points for land use and navigation in this section of the Great Plains.
