2017 Map of Wild Mare Lake

About this map

Wild Mare Lake and the surrounding Nebraska Sandhills dominate this 2017 topographic study of Cherry County. The landscape is defined by its unique hydrography, where small bodies of water like Heath Lake are interspersed among the stabilized sand dunes. This portion of the Nebraska interior is remarkably open, showing only the most vital rural infrastructure such as Shadbolt Rd crossing the central terrain. Evidence of the intermittent drainage network is visible along Medicine Cr, which meanders through the northeast. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System organization of the early 21st century, delineating townships including t32n r36w and t31n r37w. This specialized environment illustrates the sparse settlement patterns and unique geological formations characteristic of this section of the Great Plains.
