2021 Map of Skull Lake

About this map

Calamus River meanders across the northern reaches of this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, defining a landscape dominated by natural depressions and seasonal basins. This 2021 survey illustrates the hydrologic character of the eastern edge of Cherry County as it meets Brown County, where water accumulates in prominent features like Skull Lake and Rush Lake. The presence of Clapper Marsh in the northeast corner further indicates the low-lying, wetland-rich nature of the terrain. Primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, the area is divided into several townships including t28n r25w and t27n r24w, reflecting a remote ranching landscape where development is sparse and natural water bodies dictate the geography.
