2011 Map of Mumper

About this map

Ashburger Lake and dozens of smaller water bodies dot this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, defining a landscape shaped by shallow groundwater and wind-sculpted basins. In this remote ranching territory, the small settlement of Mumper serves as a primary reference point near the southern edge of the quadrangle. The area's agricultural identity is visible through the Four D Ranch and School Section Lake, the latter indicating land traditionally set aside for public education funding. Local navigation relies on a sparse network of section-line roads, including Road 181 and Road 110. A notable landmark for fire observation or orientation is Lookout Tower Number 1, situated on the higher ground of the dunes. The concentration of named lakes like North Cherry Lakes, Goose Lake, and the curiously named Tree Claim Lake highlights the importance of these water sources for both wildlife and the region's cattle industry.
