About this map

The settlement of Alma serves as the primary hub in this southern Nebraska landscape, situated along the northern shores of Harlan County Lake. The lake dominates the central portion of the map, featuring a complex shoreline with numerous named points and coves including Methodist Cove, North Cove, and the distinctive White Cat Point. This 2017 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the area's recreational and agricultural lands, extending from the Alma Municipal Airport down to the Nebraska-Kansas state line.

Waterways like Tipover Cr and Mill Cr feed into the lake from the north, while Prairie Dog Cr and Bone Cr define the southern drainage patterns. For genealogists and local historians, the Republican City Cem is a significant landmark on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The grid of county roads, such as Cornhusker Rd and Bald Eagle Dr, reveals the contemporary land use around the reservoir and the rural township divisions.
