2014 Map of Wood Lake

About this map

The settlement of Wood Lake serves as a focal point in this 2014 survey of the Nebraska Sandhills. Located along the southern edge of the map, the town is oriented around Us-20 and local thoroughfares like Main St and Lake St. Just east of the village lies Mt Hope Cem, a key landmark for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, including the winding Evergreen Cr and the S Fork Fairfield Cr to the north. These waterways, along with the broad Porter Valley, illustrate the subtle topographic shifts of the Nebraska interior. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Cherry Co and Brown Co, marking a significant political transition across the ranching country.
