2021 Map of Hudson Lake

About this map

Gordon Cr meanders through this portion of the Sandhills in Cherry County, carving a path through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and natural basins. The central feature, Hudson Lake, is surrounded by an intricate network of marshes, illustrating the region's complex hydrology. To the south, the terrain descends toward the significant water bodies of Big Alkali Lake and Little Alkali Lake. Human presence is marked by the remote Simeon Cem and the Ainsworth Canal, a critical piece of water infrastructure cutting across the northern reaches. The presence of Rustlers Roost suggests a storied local history in this isolated ranching country, where large township blocks like t31n r29w define the cadastral grid. This survey provides a clear view of the traditional land divisions and the vital water sources that have sustained the cattle industry in this unique Nebraska environment.
