2017 Map of Duck Lake SW

About this map

Middle Loup River meanders through the southwestern corner of this survey, carving a path through the extensive sandhill topography of north-central Nebraska. This 2017 edition illustrates the sparse human development in the region, where the primary man-made features are the administrative boundary lines separating Cherry Co and Thomas Co. The landscape is defined by the natural hydrology and the Public Land Survey System grid, which includes segments of t24n r29w and t25n r29w. The map provides a clear look at the intricate dune formations and isolated wetlands that characterize this section of the Great Plains, capturing the area in a contemporary era where open ranch land and river systems remain the dominant geographic features.
