2011 Map of Hagan Lake NE

About this map

Thurman Cemetery serves as a central landmark in this portion of northern Nebraska, situated in a landscape defined by an extensive network of ephemeral water bodies and isolated basins. The geography of Rock County is captured here in 2011, showing the modern alignment of State Highway 183 as it cuts north-to-south through the center of the quadrangle. This area of the Sandhills transition is characterized by a sparse human footprint, where section lines and local roads provide the primary structure for ranching and land management. The concentration of small, unnamed wetlands throughout the terrain illustrates the unique hydrography of the region, where seasonal water levels dictate the use of the surrounding plains.
