1986 Map of Mudd Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Mudd Lake and the surrounding Logan County landscape are defined by a complex network of closed basins and seasonal wetlands characteristic of the Nebraska Sandhills. This 1980s survey captures a rural environment focused on livestock production, as evidenced by the presence of Feed Lots and the isolated Rogers Ranch to the north. The undulating terrain transition between the open Flats and the named area of Wild Horse suggests a topography of high dunes and low-lying meadow pockets. Drainage is minimal across this sandy expanse, with Wild Horse Creek and Philpott Lake representing the few significant water features in a region where surface water often depends on the level of the shallow Ogallala Aquifer. The boundary between Thomas and Logan counties cuts across the northern reaches of the sheet, marking a quiet divide in this sparsely populated cattle country.
