2017 Map of Arapahoe NW

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Frontier and Gosper counties is defined by a complex network of man-made irrigation and livestock water sources. Numerous reservoirs, including Robinson Reservoir, Helms Reservoir, and Stagemeyer Reservoir, are distributed across the high plains, illustrating the critical role of water management in this region of Nebraska. The terrain is marked by significant drainages such as Elder Cr and the E Br Muddy Cr, which cut through the level topography near Union Ridge. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several rural burial grounds that serve as landmarks for early pioneer settlements, such as Salem Lutheran Cem, Salem East Cem, and Pleasant Grove Cem. These sites, along with the East Muddy Cem, anchor the history of these farming townships within a grid of section roads like RD 732 and RD 736.
