2014 Map of Jensen Lake

About this map

Jensen Lake sits as a central landmark in this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, straddling the border between Grant and Arthur Counties. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape shaped by glacial or wind-carved depressions, noted here through the distinct basins of Voss Valley, Silliasen Valley, and Center Valley. The local transportation network is defined by a sparse grid of rural routes, including Sillhassen Rd, Yonkers Dr, and Jensen Rd, which serve the large, isolated ranches characteristic of this region. The map provides a precise record of the land surface and hydrology in a sparsely populated section of Nebraska, where the names often reflect the early families who settled the area's valleys and managed its water resources.
