2017 Map of Dora Lake

About this map

Dora Lake serves as the central focal point of this Holt County landscape, where the sandy, undulating terrain of Nebraska is defined by a network of seasonal wetlands and small water bodies. The map illustrates a strictly rural section of the Sandhills, characterized by a grid-like section-line road system including 870th Rd and 874th Rd. The boundary between Rock and Holt Counties runs vertically through the western portion of the sheet, cutting through the edge of Frazier Lake in the southwest corner. The drainage pattern is sparse, with Dry Cr appearing in the northeast, reflecting the highly permeable nature of this environment. This survey captures a remote ranching landscape where the presence of water determines the utility of the land, as seen in the concentration of named features around the primary basins.
