2011 Map of Hagan Lake NW

About this map

Long Pine Creek meanders through this portion of Rock County, carving a distinct drainage pattern across the high plains of north-central Nebraska. The watercourse is joined by Spring Branch, reflecting the essential role of surface water in this sparsely settled prairie landscape. This 2011 survey reveals a vast network of local roads and sections, illustrating the geometric land divisions typical of the American West. The lack of named settlements or clusters of structures emphasizes the rural and agricultural character of the region, where the terrain is defined by the subtle elevation changes of the Sandhills and the vital riparian corridors that support the area's cattle ranching economy.
