About this map

Duck Lake sits in the northeast corner of this 1980s landscape, a characteristic water body in the Nebraska Sandhills. The area is defined by the broad reach of Calf Creek Valley, which trends from the west toward the southeast, cutting a distinct path through the surrounding terrain. Small watercourses like Pass Creek drain the northern sections, while the small settlement of Higgins appears in the eastern reaches, near the boundary between Range 29 West and Range 28 West. This map, based on 1983 photography and 1984 field checks, captures the rural character of Cherry County before modern developments, showing the sparse distribution of named places and the dominance of natural drainage patterns in the High Plains.
