2014 Map of Beatrice West

About this map

Homestead National Monument preserves a pivotal chapter of Great Plains history west of Beatrice, defining the landscape where the Big Blue River meanders toward the city. This area showcases the transition from heritage sites like the Freeman Graves to the modern aviation of the Beatrice Municipal Airport. The western outskirts of the city are marked by the residential patterns of Hoag and Glenover, alongside a complex water management system featuring the Cub Cr Reservoir G-1 and Dusenbery-Doyle Reservoir. The grid of rural roads, such as W Elm Rd and SW 75 Rd, connects these diverse landmarks, reflecting the organized agricultural and civic expansion characteristic of Gage County in the early twenty-first century.
