1985 Map of Hudson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills landscape of Cherry County is defined by its ranching heritage and distinctive hydrology in this mid-1980s survey. Named cattle operations such as Bow and Arrow Ranch, Harris Ranch, and Sunny Slope Ranch are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the long-standing land-use patterns of the region. The map captures the essential water infrastructure required for this environment, including the Ainsworth Canal and a section of Gordon Creek that meanders through the central valley. Small, isolated landmarks like Rustlers Roost and a lonely Cem provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists. The southeastern corner is marked by a concentration of water bodies including Hudson Lake, Little Alkali Lake, and Big Alkali Lake, which serve as critical landmarks in a region dominated by rolling dunes and intermittent drainage such as Schlegel Cr.
