About this map

The boundary between Frontier Co and Red Willow Co bisects this prairie landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems and artificial water catchments. The area is marked by the presence of Kometcher Reservoir in the northwest, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle contains Dry Cr Reservoir 3-A and Dry Cr Reservoir 3-B. These man-made features highlight the region's managed water resources for agriculture and livestock. The natural drainage is driven by the winding paths of Coon Cr and Wildcat Cr, which cut through the undulating plains. A grid of rural routes, including Road 722 and Road 395, provides a window into the land divisions and remote ranching infrastructure of this part of Nebraska during the early twenty-first century.
