1987 Map of Frye Lake

About this map

The Middle Branch Loup River winds across the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a distinct transition in the Sandhills terrain near the border of Cherry and Grant Counties. The area is characterized by a high density of enclosed basins and seasonal water bodies, including Green Lake, Three Lakes, and Coles Lake. These hydrologic features are interspersed with numerous flowing wells, which speak to the region's reliance on the underlying aquifer for ranching and local settlement during the late twentieth century.
