2021 Map of Duck Lake NE

About this map

The rolling Sandhills of Cherry County dominate this landscape, defined by the winding course of Calf Cr as it carves through the Calf Creek Valley. This is a sparsely populated section of Nebraska's rangeland, where the geography is organized primarily by large ranching operations and public land survey divisions. The map highlights local infrastructure necessary for managing this wide-open terrain, including private access ways such as Eatinger Ranch Dr and the rural artery of Eatinger Rd. These routes provide essential connectivity between the isolated homesteads and grazing lands typical of the High Plains, illustrating the enduring nature of the ranching economy in the early twenty-first century.
