2011 Map of Beatrice East

About this map

The city of Beatrice anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape, situated along the banks of the Big Blue River. This Gage County region is defined by a dense network of tributaries and managed water resources, where numerous reservoirs such as Barnard Reservoir and Bear Creek Reservoir 6-B are controlled by a series of dams including the Pierce Creek Dam 3-A. The map highlights the intersection of urban development and rural water management, showing the residential grid near the Beatrice Post Office transitioning into agricultural land drained by Indian Creek and Town Creek. Genealogists and local historians can locate established resting places including the Saint Joseph Cemetery on the western edge and Elysian View Cemetery to the north, providing clear spatial context for 21st-century researchers.
