About this map

Simeon and the surrounding Sandhills of Cherry County are defined by a complex network of wetlands and freshwater lakes in this 2017 study. The area is characterized by massive bodies of water such as Pelican Lake, Hackberry Lake, and Dewey Lake, which dominate the central and southern portions of the landscape. These water bodies are interspersed with smaller features like Watts Lake and Duck Lake, creating a unique hydrological environment.

Access through this often marshy terrain is provided by specifically named routes like Refuge Rd and the CCC Fire Tower Trail, the latter of which suggests a history of conservation and lookout activity in the region. The northern section is drained by Gordon Cr, which meanders near the settlement of Simeon. This map offers a clear look at the intricate arrangement of these water resources, from Big Alkali Lake in the northeast to Dads Lake in the south, essential for understanding the local ecology and land use patterns.
