2014 Map of Turpin Lake West

About this map

The Nebraska Sandhills of Cherry County define this landscape, where a high concentration of natural basins and seasonal wetlands dot the terrain. Central to the area is Gordon Cr, which flows through a series of expansive depressions including Lake Springs Valley and Waupan Valley. The map shows a region shaped by its hydrology, with numerous named bodies of water such as Rat Lake, Braunsweiger Lake, and the namesake Turpin Lake providing vital resources in an otherwise arid-looking grassland. Human infrastructure is minimal, represented primarily by the Runner Landing Area and sand roads like Fawn Lake Rd and Runner Rd. These features suggest a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and remote aviation, where the placement of Thirty-One Lake and Moore Lake likely serves as critical landmarks for local navigation.
