About this map

Willow Lake and a dense network of water bodies dominate this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills in Cherry County. This 2017 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its hydrology, where large basins like Dewey Lake and Trout Lake sit alongside smaller, specialized features such as Billiards Marsh. The map provides a detailed view of the regional drainage patterns, showing the proximity of North Marsh Lake and South Marsh Lake in the eastern section of the quadrangle.

Human interaction with this wetland environment is centered around Refuge Rd, which skirts the southern edge of School Lake. The geography is largely uninhabited, characterized by the expansive basin formations of the Sandhills, including Muleshoe Lake and Big Alkali Lake in the north. This record is essential for understanding the seasonal and permanent water features of this specific Nebraska ecological zone.
