2021 Map of Wilson Valley

About this map

Wilson Valley characterizes this high-plains landscape in Nebraska's sandhills, where the topography is defined by depressions and isolated water bodies rather than a traditional river network. The area around Skull Lake and Little Skull Lake illustrates the seasonal and localized hydrology typical of this region, where small lakes collect in the basins between rolling dunes. Human infrastructure is notably sparse in this 2021 survey, centered primarily on land partitions such as t29n r26w and a single named road, Sales Dr, which provides the only named vehicular access across the township lines. The spatial distribution of Rat Lake and its neighbors highlights the importance of these water sources in an otherwise arid grazing environment, providing a clear record of the area's natural features before any significant modern development or agricultural modification.
