2014 Map of Wild Mare Lake NW

About this map

Nebraska's Sandhills define the landscape of this 2014 survey in Cherry County, where the topography is shaped by countless depressions and ridges. Unlike more densely settled regions, this area is characterized by its sparse infrastructure, primarily centered around the north-south corridor of Ne-61. This highway provides the principal route through the undulating terrain, intersecting with Shadbolt Rd as it cuts across the section. The map illustrates the specialized land-use patterns of the High Plains, where the lack of clustered towns or schools points to a ranching economy dependent on large, open tracts of land. For those studying the geography of north-central Nebraska, the sheet captures the specific layout of local roads and the intricate relief of the dunes before any further modern development altered the drainage and access patterns of this interior region.
