2011 Map of Hofeld Lake

About this map

Hofeld Lake serves as a prominent water feature in this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, marking a landscape defined by seasonal wetlands and high plains drainage. The hydrology of the area is primarily shaped by the meandering course of Long Pine Creek, which flows through the northeastern section of the quadrangle. As captured in this 2011 survey, the region maintains a low-density rural character, with the section-line road network typical of the Great Plains providing the primary structure for land division. The lack of concentrated settlements or named towns within these boundaries underscores the agricultural and conservation-focused land use of the county, where natural landmarks like the lake and creek remain the primary points of orientation.
