2011 Map of White Lake

About this map

White Lake and a series of scattered seasonal basins characterize this section of Sheridan County, recorded during a 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey. The landscape is dominated by ranching interests, with the Star Ranch and Wilson Ranch serving as the primary named hubs of activity in this northern Sandhills region. The map reveals an intricate network of localized hydrology where named water bodies like Jennings Lake, Carnes Lake, and Roethler Lake punctuate the arid terrain. Other notable features include Van Loon Lake, Taylor Lake, and Sandow Lake, which illustrate the geographic reliance on these basins for livestock and local ecology. This sheet provides a detailed look at the rural property boundaries and remote access roads that define life in one of Nebraska's more sparsely populated ranching corridors.
