About this map

Eureka Valley Cem sits as a solitary point of recorded history in this vast expanse of the Nebraska Sandhills, located within the township of t29n r18w. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous wetlands and shallow lakes gather in the depressions between dunes. Larger bodies of water like Pony Lake, Goose Lake, and Wolf Lake dominate the central and southern sections, while the South Fork Elkhorn River and Carlisle Lake anchor the northern boundary.

A sparse grid of section-line roads, including WPA Rd and Dogwood Rd, provides the only structural navigation through this territory. The drainage patterns of Dry Cr reflect the seasonal nature of water movement in this environment, winding between dunes toward larger collection points like Lesher Lake and Fox Lake. This 2021 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of Rock County, showing a region where natural topography and water distribution still dictate the human footprint.
