2017 Map of Wood Lake

About this map

Wood Lake serves as the primary settlement on this Nebraska landscape, characterized by the distinct drainages of the Sandhills region. The town is situated in the southwestern portion of the map, where Lake St and Main St form the local street grid near the railroad corridor. Just east of the residential area lies Mount Hope Cem, a key landmark for genealogical research. The surrounding terrain is defined by low-lying valleys and intermittent watercourses, including the winding path of Evergreen Cr and the seasonal flow of Dry Cr. To the north, the S Fork Fairfield Cr cuts through the open country, while Porter Valley provides a notable topographical depression in the eastern section of the quadrangle. The map captures the sparse, rural settlement pattern typical of Cherry County, where local roads like RD e89 provide vital connections between isolated ranches and the village center.
