1990 Map of Wild Mare Lake NW

About this map

Jensen Ranch stands as the primary landmark in this 1990 survey of the Nebraska Sandhills. The landscape is defined by its complex, undulating dune topography, which creates a pattern of isolated depressions and dry valleys across the Wild Mare Lake NW quadrangle. This provisional mapping reflects the vast, open cattle country of Cherry County as it appeared in the late twentieth century, showing a region where human infrastructure is secondary to the natural drainage and landforms. The intricate contour work illustrates the difficulty of navigating this terrain, where small ranch tracks provide the only connection between remote locations.
