2011 Map of Jefford Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
The North Fork Dismal River and South Fork Dismal River define the hydrography of this section of Hooker County, where the Sandhills landscape is marked by remote cattle operations and small water bodies. The terrain is characterized by a sparse network of ranch roads connecting significant local landmarks such as Jefford Lake in the southern portion and the Running Water Bridge at the northeastern corner. Isolated outposts of the regional ranching economy are represented by the Gragg Ranch and J Tucker Ranch, reflecting the enduring land-use patterns of central Nebraska. This 2011 survey records a landscape where water sources like Bobtail Creek are the primary drivers of settlement and infrastructure in a region defined by its sprawling prairie reaches and natural drainage basins.
