About this map

Calamus Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Loup County quadrangle, where the engineering of the Calamus Dam Rd manages the waters of the Calamus River. The terrain is defined by the unique topography of the Nebraska Sandhills, characterized by countless stabilized dunes and depressions that create a complex network of ephemeral and permanent water bodies. Small-scale water management is evident at Morgan Reservoir Number 1 and Bald Lake, while drainage is channeled through Gracie Cr. A sparse grid of rural corridors, including Gracie Creek Ave and Valley View Ave, provides access to this ranching country. The map illustrates the contemporary intersection of recreational water use and traditional prairie land management in the early twenty-first century.
