2021 Map of Swan Lake

About this map

The S Fork Elkhorn River winds through the heart of this Holt County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its diverse wetlands and water bodies. Significant features include the namesake Swan Lake, as well as Rush Lake, Round Lake, and Long Lake, which illustrate the high water table and natural drainage patterns of this Nebraska territory. The road network remains largely rural, following section lines and historical routes such as Fort Rd, Frontier Rd, and Davis Rd. Surveyed in the early 21st century, the map details the Public Land Survey System boundaries across several townships including t26n r15w and t25n r15w. This documentation captures a specific hydrological moment for the area, marking the extent of seasonal waters like Dry Cr and more permanent basins such as Dimmitt Lake and Clear Lake.
