2014 Map of Lake George

About this map

Lake George and the surrounding sandhills terrain dominate this 2014 topographic survey of Rock County. This specific landscape is defined by its subtle depressions and isolated water bodies, most notably the central Lake George and the smaller Carp Lake to the west. These features represent the characteristic hydrology of the Nebraska Sandhills, where shallow groundwater and surface runoff collect in natural basins. The only major transportation artery through this quiet stretch of prairie is Us-183, which runs north-to-south through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The lack of named settlements or heavy infrastructure highlights the area's agricultural and conservation character, providing a detailed record of the land use and drainage patterns in north-central Nebraska during the early twenty-first century.
