About this map

Mumper sits as a central landmark in this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, surrounded by an intricate network of shallow basins and wetlands. The landscape is defined by its numerous named lakes, including the large Ashburger Lake and the cluster of North Cherry Lakes and South Cherry Lake. This distribution of water bodies across the dunes highlights the unique hydrology of the region, where the water table intersects with the base of the hills to create essential habitats and landmarks in an otherwise sparsely populated area.

Local navigation relies on a system of rural roads such as RD 181 and RD 110, which connect isolated features like School Section Lake and Goose Lake. Near the southern edge, a Nature Trail winds past Gimlet Lake and Roundup Lake, indicating a managed area for conservation or recreation amidst the grazing lands. The map meticulously documents these ephemeral and permanent water features, from Tree Claim Lake to Gaff Lake, providing a clear record of the territory's natural infrastructure.
