2011 Map of Richardson Lake

About this map

Richardson Lake and a series of smaller alkali and freshwater basins dot this high-plains landscape in Garden County, characteristic of the Nebraska Sandhills. At the start of the 21st century, this area remains primarily dedicated to cattle ranching, with the Mcginley Ranch serving as a significant landmark in an otherwise sparsely populated territory. The map reveals a remote network of local routes, including Road 155, Road 100, and Road 96, which connect the scattered homesteads and water bodies across the undulating terrain. Large lakes like Swan Lake and Twin Lake dominate the northern portion of the quadrangle, while smaller basins like Lower Harrison Lake and Horse Lake provide critical water points in this semi-arid environment.
