2011 Map of Barneston

About this map

Barneston anchors this agricultural landscape along the winding course of the Big Blue River at the southern edge of Gage County. The map details a sophisticated water management network established by the early 21st century, featuring the Barneston Power Plant Dam and a series of reservoirs and dams along Plum Creek, such as Plum Creek Reservoir 2-A and Plum Creek Reservoir 2-E. These structures highlight the region's historical reliance on the river for power and its modern efforts at flood control and water storage. Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by the inclusion of the Barneston Cemetery and Saint Josephs Cemetery, located just north of the town center. The surrounding terrain is defined by several tributaries, including Mission Creek, Arkeketa Creek, and Wildcat Creek, which flow through a grid of rural roads like State Line Rd marking the Nebraska-Kansas border.
