2011 Map of Bartley SW

About this map

Coon Creek meanders across this rural section of Red Willow County, defining the drainage patterns of an agricultural landscape north of the Republican River valley. This 2011 survey illustrates a region shaped by modern water management and conservation, characterized by a series of localized reservoirs and dams. The Kometscher Reservoir and its associated Kometscher Dam serve as central features in the northwest, while the eastern portion of the map is marked by the Dry Creek Reservoir 3-B and Dry Creek Reservoir 3-A. These smaller water bodies, alongside Wildcat Creek, provide a detailed look at the infrastructure required to manage prairie runoff. The grid of section roads, including 4th St and various County Roads, remains the primary structural element of the landscape, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in Nebraska.
