2021 Map of Raven

About this map

The northern Sandhills region of Brown County is defined by a landscape of scattered basins and shifting dunes. This 2021 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a sparsely settled area where water resources dictate land use. Jones Lake and Hagan Lake serve as primary landmarks in this undulating terrain, which is organized by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t27n r21w and t28n r22w. The intricate contour patterns reveal the unique geomorphology of the Nebraska interior, where drainage is limited and small lakes often form the center of ranching activity.
