2017 Map of Jefford Lake

About this map

The N Fork Dismal River and S Fork Dismal River carve through the center of this Hooker County landscape, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Nebraska Sandhills. At the northeastern corner of the map, Running Water Bridge spans the northern fork, providing a rare landmark in a region defined by its hydrography. The terrain is characterized by the wetlands and lakes typical of this high-plains environment, most notably Jefford Lake in the southern reaches. Tributaries such as Bobtail Cr feed into the river systems, while the sparse road network is represented by routes like Sharptail Dr, highlighting the isolation and conservation of this river valley at the time of this 2017 survey.
