2017 Map of Lake George

About this map

Lake George and Carp Lake sit amidst a shifting landscape of wetlands and depressions in this section of Rock County. This 2017 survey reflects the remote, pastoral character of the Nebraska Sandhills, where the land is primarily organized by section lines and a sparse network of section roads. The map illustrates a typical Great Plains township structure, including portions of T28N R20W and T27N R19W, where long-standing rural routes like Emerald Rd and 861st Rd provide the primary access to isolated homesteads and grazing lands. The density of seasonal wetlands and small water bodies across the quadrangle suggests a landscape where the water table is often near the surface, a characteristic feature of the regional hydrology that dictates both ranching boundaries and road placement.
