2014 Map of Hofeld Lake

About this map

Hofeld Lake sits within a complex terrain of depressions and basins in the Sandhills of Brown County, representing the characteristic hydrology of this central Nebraska region. This 2014 survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns where Long Pine Cr carves through the undulating landscape to the north. Unlike the more structured township grids seen elsewhere, the land here is defined by its natural contours and the scarcity of named settlements, reflecting a primary focus on ranching and conservation. Researchers can trace the path of the creek and the isolation of the lake, which serve as primary landmarks for navigating this sparsely populated section of the Great Plains.
