2014 Map of Bennet

About this map

Cheney and the village of Bennet anchor this agricultural landscape southeast of Lincoln, where the prairie transitions into a complex network of managed waterways. The topography is defined by the headwaters of the Little Nemaha River and the Stevens Creek drainage, punctuated by numerous flood control structures including Salt Creek Reservoir 19-B and Salt Creek Reservoir 8-B. Genealogy researchers will find the Cheney Cemetery and residential developments like those surrounding Pine Lake Reservoir. Transportation is dominated by the diagonal corridor of Nebraska Highway 2, which cuts across the grid-pattern section roads. The southern portion of the map features significant recreational water bodies, most notably Wagon Train Lake, providing a clear view of the region's mid-2010s water management and suburban expansion toward the county line.
