About this map

The Big Blue River meanders through this portion of Gage County, shaping the local topography as it flows toward the southern edge of the quadrangle. In the early 21st century, the area west of Beatrice remains defined by its water management and agricultural grid, with several tributaries such as Soap Creek, Snake Creek, and Bottle Creek feeding into the main river channel. The settlement of Hoag sits along the northern reaches, while the small community of Glenover is positioned just north of the city's residential outskirts.

Water conservation and infrastructure are prominent across the landscape, visible through the series of reservoirs and dams constructed to manage the local watershed. Significant features include Ebbers Reservoir Number 1, Cub Creek Reservoir G-1, and Dusenbery-Doyle Reservoir. To the east, the Beatrice Municipal Airport marks a primary transportation hub for the region, contrasting with the rural roads and river-cut plains that dominate the western half of the map.
