1986 Map of Duck Lake SW

About this map

The Middle Loup River winds through the southwestern corner of this Sandhills landscape, marking the primary drainage for an area defined by its rolling topography and sparse infrastructure. Surveyed in the mid-1980s, the map highlights the boundary between Cherry Co and Thomas Co, showing how political lines bisect this remote cattle country. Beyond the river valley, the terrain is dotted with isolated indicators of ranching life, such as a solitary Well, reflecting the reliance on groundwater in this arid Nebraska environment. The absence of established towns or major roads emphasizes the region's character as a working rangeland, where the natural contours of the hills dictate the path of unimproved trails and property lines.
