2021 Map of Frye Lake

About this map

The Middle Br Middle Loup River and S Br Middle Loup River wind through the sandhills of the Nebraska Panhandle, defining a landscape of wetlands and isolated water bodies. This 2021 survey illustrates the sparse settlement patterns along the border of Cherry and Grant counties, where the community of Duluth serves as a primary point of reference. The terrain is characterized by numerous basins, including Frye Lake, Revere Lake, and the clustered Three Lakes, which are connected by a limited network of rural routes such as Raymond Lake Rd. The map provides a contemporary view of the hydrology of the Loup River headwaters, where seasonal shifts and the high water table of the Ogallala Aquifer create a complex environment of shifting shorelines and ephemeral marshes like Coles Lake and Beem Lake.
