2011 Map of Lambs Lake NE

About this map

Dry Creek meanders across this northern Nebraska landscape, defining the hydrology of a region characterized by dispersed wetlands and seasonal watercourses. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the transition of the Sandhills terrain within Holt County, where a network of small, unnamed ponds and ephemeral basins punctuate the prairie. The map's sparse nomenclature reflects a territory dominated by large-scale ranching and open space, with section lines and local roads providing the primary framework for land management and navigation. For those studying Nebraska's environmental history or modern land use, this sheet documents the natural drainage patterns and water resources that sustain the area's agricultural heritage.
