About this map

Beatrice anchor the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the Gage County Court House stands as a central civic landmark. The town's grid of streets, including Court St and Market St, transitions into a surrounding countryside defined by agricultural sections and a complex network of reservoirs. To the south, the Big Blue River flows past the edge of the city, paralleled by the Chief Standing Bear Trl, which follows the old rail corridor. The rural areas are marked by several historic burial grounds, including Saint Joseph Cem to the north and Evergreen Home Cem to the east.

A series of water management projects dominates the hydrology of the Gage County terrain. Numerous dammed reservoirs, such as Bear Cr Reservoir 2-A, Indian Cr Reservoir 11-A, and Cedar Cr Reservoir 9-D, are situated along the branches of Bear Creek, Indian Cr, and Pierce Cr. These man-made features highlight the region's focus on soil and water conservation within its undulating prairie landscape.
