2014 Map of Hayford Lake

About this map

The Nebraska-South Dakota border defines the northern edge of this landscape, where Keya Paha Co meets Tripp Co. This section of the Sandhills region is characterized by a complex network of intermittent drainage and localized basins, centered on water bodies like Hayford Lake and the Worth Reservoir. The terrain is shaped by the winding courses of Shadley Cr and Lost Cr, which carve through the undulating topography. Human presence is marked by a sparse but deliberate road network, including Turkey Creek Rd and the southern alignment of Ne 12, illustrating the remote, agricultural character of the high plains in the early twenty-first century.
