About this map

Round Lake sits at the center of this Sandhills landscape in Cherry County, reflecting a topography defined by interdunal basins and high-plains hydrology. The area is characterized by a series of significant water bodies including Goose Lake, Fish Lake, and Silver Lake, which occupy the low-lying pockets between sandy ridges. Gordon Creek winds through the northern portion of the survey, providing a primary drainage for the area's intricate wetland systems.

Human presence is marked by a sparse network of ranch and access roads such as Indian Hill Rd, Whitman Rd, and Maire Dr. This 2021 survey demonstrates the enduring rural character of this part of Nebraska, where the land remains largely organized by the Public Land Survey System. The map preserves the specific locations of landmarks like Murphy Lake and Bray Lake, which serve as vital points of reference in an otherwise undulating and uniform prairie terrain.
