2021 Map of Whitewater Lake

About this map

Whitewater Lake sits at the heart of this Sandhills landscape along the border of Hooker and McPherson Counties. This portion of Nebraska is defined by its numerous small basins and valleys, including the broad Bassett Valley in the northwest and Big Lamunyon Flats in the southeast. The map reveals a remote ranching infrastructure where transportation is dictated by the terrain, featuring named routes like Rothwell Rd and Kramer Rd. Local hydrography is characterized by seasonal and permanent water bodies such as Stickney Lake, Sand Beach Lake, and the aptly named Dry Lake, which illustrate the fluctuating water table of this unique prairie ecosystem. The network of section lines and roads like Whitewater Rd and N Arensdorf Rd provide a clear view of land division in this sparsely populated region.
