About this map

Homerville Cem and Fairfield Cem anchor the north-central and eastern sections of this Gosper County landscape, representing the early rural community centers of this agricultural region. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, primarily focused on Turkey Cr and its tributaries, including W Br Turkey Cr and E Br Turkey Cr. In a region where water management is vital for the prairie landscape, numerous man-made features like Harmon Reservoir and Salisbury Reservoir are integrated into the rolling topography.

The sectional road grid, including Road 730 and Road 428, organizes the area into distinct parcels. Smaller family-named landmarks and local burial sites like McGuire Cem and Immanuel Cem provide significant points of interest for those tracing the lineage of the homesteaders who settled this part of Nebraska. The map also captures the flow of Big Antelope Cr in the southwest, further illustrating the complex hydrology of the plains.
