About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills dominate this landscape in Rock County, where a high concentration of natural basins and wetlands creates a specialized ranching environment. Large water bodies such as Smith Lake and Cash Lake serve as focal points in the shifting terrain, connected by seasonal drainage systems like Holt Cr. The layout of the land is dictated by the unique topography of the hills, where the section-line road grid is occasionally broken by traditional routes like Diagonal Rd. These roads, including 865th Rd and 858th Rd, provide the primary infrastructure for this sparsely populated region. Smaller water features such as Murphy Lake, Lanz Lake, and Frazier Lake further characterize the area, illustrating the importance of local hydrology to the cattle country of the early twenty-first century.
