Sevenmile Hill rises above a landscape defined by its distinctive depressions and scattered water bodies in this section of Cherry County. The area’s hydrology is characterized by isolated basins like Speckel-Meir Lake and Speck Lake, which dot the terrain between ridges. To the south, the expansive Alkali Lake sits near the headwaters of Calf Cr, where ranching infrastructure is evidenced by the Cox Reservoir Number 1. This 2021 survey illustrates the complex topography of the Nebraska Sandhills, showing how water is managed and collected in a region where surface flow is limited and groundwater-fed lakes are central to the geography.
