2021 Map of Jesse Lake

About this map

Hoffland stands as a focal point in this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, located along a rail corridor and surrounded by a complex network of alkaline lakes and drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the shifting hydrology of the region, featuring prominent water bodies such as Jesse Lake and O'Neil Lake in the north, and the meandering course of Snake Cr further south. These lakes often fluctuate with groundwater levels, a characteristic feature of the Sheridan County terrain where ranching and local transport have long adapted to the sandy, interdunal depressions.
