About this map

Steverson Lake and Cottonwood Lake anchor this 2014 survey of the Nebraska Sandhills in Cherry County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of localized basins and wetlands, including Home Valley Lake, Pelican Lake, and Tree Claim Lake. These water bodies are essential features of the regional hydrology, often situated within distinct depressions like James Valley or the Arkansas Valley to the north.

Surface drainage is represented by the winding courses of Sandy Richards Creek and Gordon Creek, which move through the interdunal valleys. Human infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily along Ne-61, which cuts north-south through the western half of the quadrangle. Local routes like Carver Rd provide access to more remote areas like Piester Lake and Spring Lake, reflecting the low-density ranching and conservation character of the Nebraska interior.
