1985 Map of Wood Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Wood Lake anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, a small settlement located on the edge of the Nebraska Sandhills. The landscape is dominated by the complex drainage patterns of Evergreen Creek and the South Fork Fairfield Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain near the border of Cherry and Brown Counties. The presence of several irrigation features, labeled as IRR Wells, indicates the vital role of groundwater management in this ranching country during the 1980s. Local history is anchored at the Mt Hope Cem, situated just east of the main townsite. The map also traces more ephemeral watercourses like Minnie Cr and the broad depressions of Porter Valley, illustrating the subtle topographic shifts that define the Nebraska plains.
