2011 Map of Adams

About this map

Adams serves as the primary hub in this corner of Gage County, where a grid of section-line roads like E Ash Rd and E Pickrell Rd organizes the agricultural landscape. The town is marked by local landmarks including the Adams Post Office and Highland Cemetery, while Grandview Cemetery sits further west among the fields. This terrain is defined by a dense network of water management features, illustrating a highly engineered approach to the prairie's drainage. Numerous reservoirs and dams, such as Bear Creek Reservoir 7-F and M B Big Nemaha Reservoir 9-C, dot the landscape along the tributaries of the Middle Branch Big Nemaha River. These man-made structures regulate the flow of natural waterways like Shaw Creek, Jakes Creek, and Hooker Creek, which meander through the farmland towards the larger river system.
