About this map

The Phoenix Cemetery and its namesake Phoenix Cemetery Rd anchor this rural landscape in Holt County, where the topography is defined by the elaborate drainage network of Eagle Creek. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the North Branch Eagle Creek, Middle Branch Eagle Creek, and East Branch Eagle Creek converge near Rock Falls, illustrating the intricate water systems of the Nebraska plains. Man-made interventions in the landscape appear in the form of the Coleman Reservoir Number 2 and Coleman Dam Number 1, which manage the flow of Turkey Creek. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a grid-based road system, including 485th Ave and 887th Rd, which segment the agricultural land between other waterways like Spring Creek and Oak Creek.
