2014 Map of Long Lake

About this map

Sweetwater Valley serves as a prominent landmark in this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, a landscape defined by its distinctive dune formations and interdunal basins. Water is the primary feature of this terrain, with several notable bodies including the expansive Long Lake and the smaller Twentyone Lake. This 2014 survey documents a quiet, sparsely developed region where the land's hydrology dictates the layout of local travel routes and boundaries. The map traces the winding course of Goose Cr and identifies localized water features like South Marsh Lake and Center Lake. For those interested in the natural geography of Cherry County, this map provides an exact look at the relationship between these ephemeral or semi-permanent lakes and the surrounding valley structures during the early 21st century.
