2014 Map of Dora Lake

About this map

Dora Lake serves as the focal point of this rural landscape where the border between Rock County and Holt County is defined by straight section lines rather than natural topography. The terrain is characterized by a sparse network of section roads, including Brookside Rd and 870th Rd, which navigate a complex system of depressions and seasonal water features like Dry Cr. This 2014 survey documents a classic Nebraska Sandhills environment where small bodies of water, such as Frazier Lake, are scattered across a territory mostly devoid of dense settlement. The dominance of the grid system, represented by corridors like 464th Ave and 467th Ave, illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the modern Nebraska ranching interior.
