About this map

The West Fork Big Blue River carves a winding path across this Seward County landscape, centering on the village of Beaver Crossing. This 2011 survey documents a community defined by its water resources and agricultural infrastructure, featuring several significant water management structures like the Brackhan-Marquardt Road Dam, Langworthy Dam, and Miller Dam. These dams support local reservoirs including Miller-Flowerday Reservoir and Langworthy Reservoir, which are vital to the irrigation and conservation efforts in this Nebraska river valley.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial sites such as Calvary Cemetery, Cashier Cemetery, and Knob Hill Cemetery. The village itself remains a hub of activity with the Beaver Crossing Post Office and the Beaver Crossing City Park Campground situated near the riverbanks. Small private airstrips like Flying V Airport and Phillips Airport dot the section lines, highlighting the importance of light aviation in managing the surrounding rural farmland.
