2011 Map of Sybrant

About this map

Sybrant and the surrounding Rock County landscape are defined by the intricate hydrologic patterns of the Nebraska Sandhills. In the northern reaches, Holt Creek winds eastward through a network of local roads that trace the section lines of the rural township. The terrain is dotted with numerous small bodies of water and several larger named basins, including Smith Lake, Frazier Lake, and Lanz Lake. These water features, alongside Cash Lake and Murphy Lake, illustrate the high water table and depression-fed drainage typical of this region. The settlement of Sybrant itself serves as the focal point for this sparsely populated area, where the intersection of north-south and east-west thoroughfares reflects the organized agricultural and ranching legacy of northern Nebraska in the early twenty-first century.
