1985 Map of K C Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Nostrum Valley and a network of seasonal water bodies define this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills along the border of Grant and Arthur Counties. The landscape is characterized by a series of northwest-to-southeast trending depressions, including Hobin Valley, Deans Valley, and Collins Valley. These lowlands support the region's ranching economy, with numerous homesteads and operations such as the N Kramer Ranch, Swanson Ranch, and Walz Ranch situated near vital water sources. Smaller lakes and catchments like Sand Puddin Lake and Three Tanks Lakes are scattered throughout the dunes, providing essential hydration for livestock in this semi-arid environment. Near the southern edge, K C Lake serves as a central landmark amidst a cluster of properties including the McElhinney Ranch and Staples Ranch, illustrating the dispersed but interconnected nature of high-plains settlement in the mid-1980s.
