2021 Map of Long Lake SW

About this map

Goose Cr meanders through this portion of Cherry County, defining a landscape of high plains and scattered water bodies characteristic of the Nebraska Sandhills. The presence of the Reiser-Shockley Swamp in the northwest corner highlights the unique hydrology of this region, where groundwater often meets the surface in low-lying depressions between dunes. In the southwestern reaches, the North Loup River enters the frame, representing one of the vital arterial waterways of the central plains. Human infrastructure is notably sparse in this 2021 survey, with Bluestem Rd serving as one of the primary conduits through the townships. The map documents the vast, open nature of the range, dominated by topographical contours that reveal the undulating relief of the stabilized sand dunes.
