About this map

The Calamus River and its S Fork wind through this portion of Brown County, defining a landscape dominated by an extensive network of sandhill lakes and marshes. The water table of this region is clearly visible through the numerous basins, ranging from the large Moon Lake and Moon Lake Marsh in the north to the cluster of Crystal Lake, Long Lake, and Enders Lake further south.

Remote and sparsely developed, the area's infrastructure is limited to a few arterial routes like Hill RD and Moon Lake RD. The mapping of features such as Clapper Marsh, Rat Lake, and Robinson Lake highlights the intricate hydrography of the Nebraska Sandhills. This survey captures the region's natural state, where the drainage patterns of the river system interact with the unique ponding of the surrounding basin lands.
