2014 Map of Belgrade SW

About this map

North Star anchors the northern high ground of this Nebraska landscape, where the terrain transitions from upland ridges down toward the broad valley of the Loup River. This 2014 survey documents a predominantly agricultural region defined by its water management and drainage patterns, including the Davis Brothers Reservoir and several major tributaries such as Cottonwood Cr and Horse Cr. The southern portion of the map is marked by the straight east-west boundary between Nance Co and Merrick Co, which runs just north of the river's meandering course. The road network, consisting of named routes like Pleasant Valley Rd and Elk Creek Rd, follows a strict grid that illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System in organizing the rural Nebraska prairie more than a century after its initial settlement.
