2014 Map of Hog Island

About this map

Hog Island rises as a prominent landmark amidst the intricate wetland and dune topography of the Nebraska Sandhills along the South Dakota border. This 2014 survey documents a landscape dominated by a network of seasonal and permanent water bodies, reflecting the unique hydrology of the Sheridan Co and Cherry Co borderlands. The map traces the varied contours of the terrain, where named features like Horseshoe Meadow and Shell Lake indicate the historical importance of these water sources in an otherwise arid region.
